The ALSA bus from Alicante airport to Murcia city. Has anyone been on this bus? It departs from near the Arrivals terminal, I think.
Can I pay the driver, or do I need a ticket in advance?
Also, the bus timetable says this bus is every 2 hrs. How punctual is it -- the route is Alicante-Murcia city via Alicante airport.
My flight arrives at the airport at 1 PM, so I want to bus it over to Murcia ASAP.

Thanks
Mike

generally , public transport here is extremely punctual ! In fact on some of the train ( AVE ) lines , if the train arrives at the destination more than 5 minutes late you get your money back !!!! Impressive with a capital "I" !
I don´t know about the Alicante - Murcia route .. I´ll leave that to other board members .
I´ve travelled by bus to Segovia and also to Granada .. The buses leave almost , to the second , on time .
You should get your ticket in advance .. I´m pretty sure you have to have a ticket in hand before boarding the bus .

If there is an ALSA desk at alicante airport, I will be able to buy a ticket in advance.
If not, I will have to try paying cash to the driver ...
