Buses In Cyprus

 

Buses In Cyprus are your best bet for getting around near the resorts. Public transport in Cyprus is limited. There are no trains and there is no train service. There are inter-urban public bus services connecting major towns, urban buses which run in most larger towns and rural buses which connect smaller villages to their nearest towns.

Buses in Cyprus  time tables and schedules are available from a Cyprus travel agent, companies dealing with travel to Cyprus or directly from the bus companies. Be aware that services stop early daily (about 18:00) and there is no bus service on Sundays. Bus fare is paid directly to the bus driver; make sure to bring change.

Shared and private taxi services provide an alternative method of transport with the options being: shared interurban service taxis, rural taxis and urban taxis.

Various buses in Cyprus companies link all major towns with a regular service leaving every one or two hours. There is no service on Sunday. 

Within the urban areas, city buses in Cyprus run on fixed routes roughly every half hour, with services ending in the evenings at about 18:00 daily (except Sunday). Hours are extended until midnight during the tourist season. 

Schedule times are available from tourist offices, a Cyprus travel agency or directly from the buses in Cyprus companies themselves.

Rural buses connect towns and villages making many stops. However, the service is infrequent with schedules limited to one or two routes per day. 

This is a shared taxi in a 4- to 8-seater minibus, which provides a connection service between all major towns. You can be collected anywhere in the urban centers and taken to a limited number of destinations at a fixed rate. The taxis do not operate between towns and villages.

If you don't want to use buses in Cyprus you can either board a taxi from the service taxi office in town or call for a pick-up and drop off service, reserving your place by telephone. You may ask to be dropped anywhere within the Municipal zone. Payment is made to the driver.

Urban taxis run 24 hours a day in all towns making for easy Cyprus travel. 

Taxis can be hired from the street although it is preferable to telephone book your taxi. Fares are measured by taxi meter based on a fixed rate chart. Taxi fares are regulated by law.
