Post by: Keith and Jen on October 26, 2018, 17:53.: The Baile Bus timetable was detailed but like unto an IQ test although I usually managed to work it out OK. The SuBus timetable is the opposite - very minimalist.

The Baile bus sometimes went to Alicante/Santa Pola via the Life Resort and market place. Do the buses ever go that way now that SuBus have taken over? If so, how can I find out which particular ones?

Post by: Catherine on October 29, 2018, 10:09.: I contacted the new company, and they say that no, there is now no bus on the Santa Pola - Alicante route that takes a detour round upper Gran Alacant, by the medical centres & market. We all need to use the Urbano, then change down at Sueño Azul.

I also sent them a message to complain that they seem to have stopped (for the most part) using our small but well-designed Urbano bus, and have started to send round a very old big bus that has narrow doors, and is totally inaccessible for wheelchairs. It’s even a squeeze to get a shopping trolley on it!

(I’ve noticed the lovely little Urbanos driving round Santa Pola a lot, it seems they’ve nicked our bus!)

Post by: hyetometer on November 10, 2018, 18:27.: Hi all,

I'm not very good at reading timetables: Am I right, that when I want to travel from Arenales to the commercial centre (Mercadona, Lidl) and back to do some shopping, I would have to leave at 9:20 to take a bus back at 14:10 or 15:10?

They only say 'Arenales' and 'Gran Alacant'. But there's two stops in Arenales and between 'Gran Alacant' and the commercial centre it's another 5 to 10 minutes. Does the bus even stop at the commercial centre and does it take the route along the beach to Santa Pola?

(By the way, there's a timetable at the bus stop in Arenales, at first I thought 'fine', better than the timetable on the net, only to find out that it's outdated.)

Is this definitely the only line between passing Gran Alacant and Arenales?

I have used the Mercadona delivery service, it's a good idea, but there are some items I'd prefer to buy at Lidl and Euronics.

How about taxi fares? From airport to Arenales I paid 15 Euros (Radio Taxi Elche). If it's the same, I don't think that I want to invest 30 Euros for shopping around. One-way bus, back with taxi?

Any ideas are welcome! Cheers, Monika
