The Alicante bus network is a substantial network of buses that link Alicante to local towns and villages and with more national towns and cities.
The Alicante bus also links you through to other transport options. Alicante airport, the RENFE train station, and the TRAM network can all be picked up from using the buses.

The council has a website which details information about where the buses go to:-

This can be broken down by international, national and local bus routes and the following pages within the council website gives information about the bus companies that travel to a certain region.

Alsa
www.alsa.es has to be the best website out there. It is so easy to navigate and displays the buses, bus routes and timetables in an easy to understand and convenient manner.
Quite frankly the other websites available are inferior to ALSA and they really need to catch up to cater for the foreign traveller.
Subus
TAM is the Alicante Metropolitan Transport Company and you can view their timetables at www.subus.es
TAM (Transporte Alicante Metropolitano) control the bus routes, pricing and timetables for the lines of Alicante and El Campello, Sant Joan and San Vicente y Mutxamel.

Uniform tariff on all lines in the Plan: 1.15.
The Subus website is difficult to navigate around but the way you need to approach it is as follows. There are three tabs along the top, make sure the second one says "Nuestra Web". Then you need to make a choice from the third tab. The third tab is a list of the Subus lines, so if you wanted the airport you would choose "aeropuerto". The 4th tab now becomes active and shows you there are 3 lines that go to the airport C-6, 1-A and 1-B. When you choose the line number the stops are displayed on the main page. You can see from these lines that C-6 serves alicante city and the airport, whilst 1-A and 1-B serve Elche and the airport.
Please note that underneath the list of stops there is further information such as a map of the stops and costs.

Booking website
I have found the following website to provide good information regarding timetables. It is principally a booking website but clearly lays out the timetables and costs as part of the booking process. So you don't have to use it to book your tickets - just use it to view timetable information.
