Hopefully just a typo!

I'm off to Menorca soon and want to go from Mahon to Ferreries.
Bus €2.70
Taxi €38
Taxi via their website €240.  Hmmm...   Bus!
Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!

    Still current as far as I can see. Hardly a problem though.

    Masks on public transport required (as is still being enforced) in Spain until at least the end of March when the next review is.

    They were quoting yesterday about 120zl for a one way transfer in Wroclaw from the airport, Bolt price is about 30, bus/tram ticket was 32zl/person for 72 hours including unlimited city travel in the middle. I think you can probably guess which option we chose.

    Booking are aimed at tourists and therefore prices are higher, although accommodation prices are often quite competitive. In the last 10 years there has been a move towards 'on demand' travel, reducing wasted mileage and increasing incomes of travel providers in general. If you want a pre-booked transfer you will therefore pay extra as technology has replaced what you are looking for.

    Taxi prices at Menorca are on a board by the bus station.

    Pre-booked transfers are usually a ridiculous amount, often much higher than the walk up taxi fare, whoever you book them with.
