BUS

The centre of the public transport system is in Palma: from here it is possible to catch any kind of bus that reach the most important town on the coast and in the hinterland.
Furthermore, other local services are available to link the smallest town and the nearby places.
The agency that manage the buses in Palma and in Baia de Palma is the EMT (Empresa Municipal de Transports).   
For more detailed information you can contact the TIB office that is llocated in the main bus station of Palma near Placa Espanya.
The distences among the towns are very short and, consequently, also the ticket prices are very low.
It is possible to buy the ticket both in the departure station or directly on the bus.

TRAINS

There are two main railway networks linking the various cities of Mallorca: the first goes from Palma to Soller, passing through the mountains, for a total of 28 kilometres.
The journey to Soller lasts about an hour and a quarter and it is very pleasant as the surrounding landscape that is really breathtaking.
The second line links Palma with Binissalem and then Inca, passing through the wide central plain. The train that leads to Binissalem and Inca then heads towards two different directions: from Binissalem it continues towards Sineu, Petra and Manacor, while the train that arrives to Inca continues towards Sa Pobla.
The journey to Inca is not among the most scenic of the island, but certainly the trains that lead to this part of Mallorca are much more frequent than the direct ones to Soller; it takes about 40 minutes to get from Palma to Inca and other 20 minutes to go to Sa Pobla.
To give an idea of the costs, you only need to know that the ticket (the round trip ticket) for the full trip from Palma to Sa Pobla costs about 6 euros.
These two railway lines have their own station staff in city of Palma and both are next to each other in the main square of Plaça Espanya.
