C30 and C32 have been terrific

The C30 and C32 buses have been terrific. We are tourists and have been very pleased.

I felt safe riding buses

As a lone, older, female traveler I felt safe riding your buses. They were fairly handy for me in my travel around the area, especially since my hotel is only handy to Alhambra on foot. (I'm staying at the Alixares).

Tonight I had a problem with bus#144. I let the driver know I needed off at Alhambra. He did not stop! And I was not getting off at the next stop that was too far for me to walk from and it was dark!

I just stayed on the bus until it was at Plaza Isabela. Then I got off and took a taxi to my hotel.

I don't read Spanish and most of the drivers don't speak much English so I paid full fare each and every time I rode the bus -no benefit of a travel like in Madrid.

Anyway, though you should know. It kind of spoiled my last night here... otherwise I probably would have rated the service 5 star.

(LG: if you take urban buses several times, it is better to buy a travel card, each trip would be 40% cheaper than buing a single ticket).
