We're in San An and off to Space tonight but quite early to PDB for food and drinks. As last year we were getting the bus BUT yesterday we went to Ibiza town to shop and getting back was eventful.It was never easy before but now, no bus stops, no numbers, no signage. Bus station gone (what passed for one) and although there is i think a new one, there are no directions to it.Is it possible guys to make the bus trip from San An to PDB without nerves of steel?
 
You could always ask someone how to walk the 5 mins journey to the station? Or stand across the road from macdonalds near the start of the town I'm almost sure you can hop on the bus to PDB there.
 
Thanks for the reply. :) I did ask, a bus driver,a woman in the old bus station and someone at a bus stop and we couldnt find it. You cant get on the bus at the start of town (well not the 3) you can only get off. Driver kindly trapped my arm in the door when I asked where the station was. Amazing there isnt one bus from San An to PDB.
 
i see you got off before the new bus station.thats why you could not find it.the bus firm do not find it good enough to have a direct bus from san to pdb.
 
Get the 3 from san an bus station to Ibz town straight into the bus station, then the 14 to PDB. Journey took me about an hour only as I missed a connection by 30 seconds. It's about 4.60e all in.

There is an earlier disco bus direct from PDB on Wednesdays I thnk (and another 2 days earlier on in season ???)

If you are getting the disco us back to San an then wait at space as it often fills up at the first stop and bypasses all the others (like I found out last week)

Incidentally, why is there not a bus all day and early eve direct between PDB and San An ???
 
The very silly situation with the new bus station may change. According to a recent piece in the Diario the different departments of government are discussing things.....sorry, google translation not very clear...still can't understand how this was allowed to happen.
As I've said before the San Antonio bus station is a great model that works well and doesn't take up a great deal of land, please a little bit of sense.
 
only problem i found was the bay numbers are wrong so the 14 bus was in bay 3 and so on.so of you in a rush please look hard at the boards.plus when getting of the number 3 bus.DO NOT TURN RIGHT if you get off the back end or you may get run over.But they have to employ a man to stop you doing that.bit hot as well and full of fumes.love to see it when it rains coming down the ramp.fill sorry for the bars that used to get good trade from the old ways.
 
buss station are actually marked in the street. yellow markers i think from the old station. but i agree its too far of these days and sort of a hassle.
 
trouble is as well its is too far to now walk to old part.i missed out going into town in oct as i treated my mum who is 77 and cannot walk to well.shame you cannot get on bus where it stops for the centre stop.a couple did try to get on there and driver said station.which i think is wrong if you ask me.and if you think i am paying for a taxi for only a short trip up road think again.
 
We caught the bus from pdb to San An a couple of times in Oct, well pdb to Ibiza town, then onto San An. One thing we couldn't understand was it was dearer to travel the shorter part of the journey from pdb to Ibiza town, than the longer journey onto San An?!?
 
All prices are more expensive now if the bus has to enter or leave the new bus station....can't explain the change of price between the two routes,exept to say they are different companies.

anyway, enough of this bus nonsense....i'm still waiting for news of helicopter transfer from the airport to my Ushuaia resort!
 
update: from now on the buses will stop in the cetis' surrounding streets :!:

It's a start but still not great for the citizens of ibiza...
I have a couple of ideas that tourists would really love - but the consell, not so much (new bus station,in a new location
 
there were direct buses from san an to pdb last year. timed. I think, to coincide with Ushuaia events, though i'm not entirely certain on that.
 
I was looking at the DDI yesterday;the article about Cetis etc. Couldn't really get to grips with it,even the english translation was a puzzle? From what I can make out it looks like it's snafu...
