Public Transportation in Sevilla
The metro is brand spanking new in Sevilla and its wonderful for Nervion and beyond! It is a cheap and very quick way to get from one side of the city to the other. The best thing is that there are no bums sleeping there, and it is well-lit and monitored with assistants.
There are three metro zones. The zones define how much a metro pass costs. For example to travel within the same zone it is called 0 saltos, moving between 2 zones is called 1 salto and finally traveling between 3 zones is called 2 saltos. The metro travels from Cuidad Expo to Olivar de Quintos with important stops in Plaza de Cuba, Prado de San Sebastian, and Nervion. To get from Pablo Olavide (nearly suburbs) to Plaza de Cuba (Triana side of the river), you will be moving 0 saltos, the cheapest option.
A rechargeable pass starting a 10€ makes your trip cheaper at 0.82€ a ride. You can also use CONSORCIO passes in both BUSES and METROS.
A one-way single ticket 0 saltos costs 1.30 €
A one-way single ticket 1 saltos costs 1.55 €
A one-way single ticket 2 saltos costs 1.75 €
A day pass costs 4.50€.
We think you should walk through the city instead and buy tickets as needed if you don´t live in Nervion or farther out past Viapol.

Buses (www.tussam.es)
The big red-orange buses run through Sevilla all day long. They can get crowded and smell funny, especially if there are little old men on board. Occasionally, you'll feel a finger poking in your back because a cute senora wants to get by. The routes (map there) seem incredibly confusing at first, but look up your nearest stop online and the lines that get you there and don´t be afraid to ask the driver! Not all stops will be listed on the glass waiting areas and the schedules are tough to find… be patient and the buses will get you EVERYWHERE.
A single bus ticket costs 1.20 €. With a consorcio card or a bonobus pass, you can pay just 70 cents!
If you ride the bus frequently, purchase a bonobus pass. They are valid for 10 trips, without transfers, and cost 7.00 €.
There are also 30 day passes with unlimited trips from the first day of use and a tourist pass, also unlimited, for either 1 or 3 days.
All bus passes can be purchased at the kiosks in these three locations:
Prado San Sebastian
Plaza Nueva
Plaza de la Encarnación
Note: There is a bus (the EA line) that goes to San Pablo Airport from Prado de San Sebastian and back, stopping at Santa Justa train station and Nervion along the way to Prado. You cannot use your bonobus for this bus, but the rates are VERY reasonable and the bus runs about every 20 minutes daily.
2.40€ for one-way… roundtrip tickets are for SAME DAY use only, so don´t bother.
If you leave anything on the bus you can call Objetos Perdidos at 954 55 72 22. For general information you can call 900 71 01 71 or consult their website at tussam.es.
