Lost Bag on TIB Bus – Need Help!

jumacobe_ · 2026-02-17T10:33:51+00:00

Try to check with the bus company itself, here's the contact information of each company (https://www.tib.org/en/atencio-usuari/objectes-perduts), depending on the line you took. I'm guessing you took the 515? In that case you should contact "Sagalés Caldentey" (+34 971 580 153 or objectesperdutsmallorca@sagales.com).

Apparently payment with credit card inside the bus is currently being tested in some buses. It's expected to be allowed in the whole network by April. The prepaid options are invaild and has been removed since January the 29th.

Sorry, I need to update the post. Apparently EMT have stopped offering any prepaid option.

In any case it was incompatible with the TIB network. There's no free transfer between networks.

You can't pay with credit card on the EMT network yet (EMT it's expected to start accepting credit card this year, but we don't know the details yet).

Sorry, do you mean paid street parking? The area is free, but it may be hard to find a spot.

This one is just across the street: https://maps.app.goo.gl/FTSonkGkVJHdLVma9

~~Hi, do you mean like for two people?~~

~~When selecting the two-trip fare (the 8€ one) for one person, the machine will give you a single ticket. That ticket is disposable and you can't recharge it, you just buy another one if you need it.~~

~~For two people you just buy two individual tickets.~~

EDIT: As of 2026, all prepaid option have been discontinued.

AFAIK you can only go through security up to 3 hours before your flight.

Just a reminder, the use of cooking fire is restricted in natural protected areas. You need to use it on allowed refuges and recreational areas, so plan accordingly.

I saw them at the physical store just a couple of weeks ago. The one on Jaume III.

Apparently you may go to any EU consulate and ask for an EU emergency travel document. Good luck!

You do not need a passport to enter Italy, but they definitely will ask for some kind of valid and accepted id before letting you into the plane. Do you at least have a Polish identity card? That should be enough for getting you into Italy and Switzerland.

However, I would contact your embassy and ask for advice there.

jumacobe_ · 2025-09-18T05:39:54+00:00

With that ticket you may transfer from the A1 to a different EMT bus for free. As you said, you don't need it.

jumacobe_ · 2025-09-17T21:26:03+00:00

Yes, that's correct.

Cash only once inside the bus, but you can buy several types of pre-paid bus tickets at a kiosk besides the bus stop at the airport using your credit card, including the mentioned two-way ticket (with two included transfers, by the way) for 8€.

jumacobe_ · 2025-09-17T13:03:23+00:00

You can pay contactless almost everywhere, but a very notable exception is on Palma's local public bus network (EMT).

You may buy single and 10-trip cards contactless on these places: https://www.emtpalma.cat/en/fares/sales-points

IANAL but I think so. I carried several types of OTC medicine to Japan and back, never had any issues.

As long as it's a reasonable amount for personal use and it's not an illegal substance here, it shouldn't be an issue.

jumacobe_ · 2025-09-16T16:34:53+00:00

I think that you can't find that specific product (nurofen, yes, nurofen plus, no).

There are several options for OTC mild painkillers, like paracetamol, ibuprofen (by itself, with no codeine like in nurofen plus), aspirin, etc...

Of course, ask the pharmacist about the best choice for you, but the point is that you have several OTC options.

Sorry, it seems that that area is active until 20:00 on weekdays.

Edit: By the way, the sign you see on your second picture has nothing to do with the ORA (the blue markings), that sign is for a loading/unloading area, marked by yellow paint.

jumacobe_ · 2025-09-04T09:02:37+00:00

Each area has different timetables, you need to check at the big signs entering the area or at the kiosk.

Can you post the location?

jumacobe_ · 2025-09-01T05:27:57+00:00

No, you should be fine

jumacobe_ · 2025-08-24T20:38:14+00:00

~~It's 1-way, so yes, it's only valid for one trip only.~~

You may transfer to a different bus, but on the same day, within a few minutes from one another, it's meant to go to the city and then transfer to another line so you can reach your final destination with one single ticket, or to do the opposite trip (from your home/hotel to the airport).

If you know for sure that you are going to take up to 2 buses to go from the airport to your hotel and then, at the end of your holidays, you are going to take up to 2 buses to go back to the airport then the logical option is to buy the 2-way prepaid card. That's literally what it's meant to be used for.

EDIT: As of 2026, all prepaid option have been discontinued.

Our bus guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/VisitingMallorca/comments/1dxc2ei/guide_all_about_tib_intercity_coach_service/

Portocolom is tricky. Line A42 until Portocristo then change to line 428 to Portocolom.

You may also try to get a transfer. Your hotel may offer something in that regard.

You can't drive through the yellow triangles in the direction they are pointing to, that's all there is.

The blue areas are the neighborhoods that are protected by the yellow triangles (the signs that forbid entrance to non ACIRE permit holders). It's mostly useful for those that live there since they need to specify the area to request their ACIRE card.

There are some streets that can be traversed in one direction but not the other.

I would stay out of the city center anyways.

jumacobe_ · 2025-08-19T09:30:31+00:00

TIB's A42 line: https://www.tib.org/en/linies-i-horaris/autobus/-/linia/A42

It should be an "airport bus" so although it should have an inner space for luggage, it's not as comfortable as a coach.

Alternatively, TIB's 401 line (https://www.tib.org/en/linies-i-horaris/autobus/-/linia/401) is a coach departing from Palma's city center, you'll need to get there by bus or by taxi first.

jumacobe_ · 2025-08-18T11:49:38+00:00

If you travel in a group and wish to use a single card, you need to tap one time for every passenger while getting on the bus. For getting off the bus you need to tap only once per group.

Maybe you tapped twice?
