Ticketing System of Granada City Buses
Granada’s city bus system is rather complicated. Here we will explain how it works.You can purchase the bus ticket or buy/pop up your travel card by paying directly to the driver on any city bus (including Alhambra/Albaycin minibuses) but route number 4 has different ticketing system.
In the Route 4 you can purchase the bus ticket or buy/pop up your travel card in two different ways: buying or recharging at the stop (in the vending machines before boarding the bus), or paying directly to the driver. This will depend on whether the stop has a vending machine (see the image bellow) or not.
Route 4 has 31 stops, 19 of these stops have vending machines (those are in the center) and the rest do not.
In these 19 stops that have a vending machine you MUST NOT get on the bus without first buying and validating your ticket or your travel card at the stop. In the rest of the stops of this and other routes, which do not have a vending machine, you MUST enter through the front door and recharge the cards or buy the tickets paying the driver.
How to validate your trip in the vending machine on one of the 19 stops on route 4? It is done by simply placing or passing the card or ticket (which has a bar code) on the screen of the small validating machines (see the image above).
Pass your card through the screen of the vlidating machines only once (once for each traveler). If you swipe your card twice, you will be charged twice.
You can NOT buy a ticket or a bus pass at press kiosks.

Opinions about Granada City Buses
Granada urban bus service
Excellent buses along with city and urban bus service not forgetting the drivers and the people of Granada (Paul)
Nearly impossible for the visitor to work out
We used the buses but it was trial and error. Unbelievably there are no printed bus maps and several different systems so it is nearly impossible for the brief visitor to work out which buses to get.
Also we tried asking for Bono ticket on the bus but never got given one.
Why cant they be available online or at Tourist Info Offices who incidentally are quite ignorant about the buses or any day trips out of the city
