Different ways of getting around my city. Murcia (Spain). Different ways of getting around town Firstly I’m going to talk about the ways to arrive to Murcia (Spain). • The first way to arrive is by plane. Murcia San Javier airport is a smaller airport, handling 1.5 million passengers a year. But this also means it is more relaxed. It offers all the amenities you need. The airport offers the following facilities: • a food store a gift shop a fashion boutique • a general store a café a sandwich shop • two cashpoints a tourist information desk • Another very easy and comfortable way to travel to Murcia is by Bus. Spain has a whole network of bus lines that connect all the cities and even smaller places. One of the bus companies that provide this service is ALSA. • Car hire is available at the airport, with both national and international companies offering services. During the summer months, it is advisable to book your car before you arrive. Once in the city, they are different ways of getting around: • By bus. In the city, there is a Public Sector Company, called Latbus. You never have to wait very long for the next bus. It’s not expensive and most of the time busses are on time and they take you everywhere in the Murcian region. • You can find taxi ranks at train and bus stations, at the centre or you can telephone for radio taxis. Furthermore taxis will stop if you hail them in the street – look for the green light and/or the libre (free) sign on the passenger side of the windscreen. The city is well stocked with taxis, although you might have to wait a bit longer on a Friday or Saturday night. No more than four people are allowed in a taxi. • The latest mean of transport which has arrived in Murcia is the tram. Nowadays, it has an only a Tram Line which connect the city centre with the shopping centres and the two universities, both the state university and the private university. • The last one is hiring a bike.
