The Ministry of Housing, Public Works and Territorial Structure has approved the new public service project for passenger transport CV-201 La Marina Alta after the public information process where city councils, entities and companies have submitted proposals, as published in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV).
The new contract optimizes the current offer and will serve a population of about 170.000 inhabitants, for which it will have a minimum of 14 buses and will make about 520.000 annual kilometers.
The new ordering of the lines significantly improves the current service offer. Thus, for example, the local traffic with origin and / or destination in La Marina Alta are concentrated in a single contractual title, which makes possible the coordination of services and schedules and the generation of synergies in the exploitation of the most dispersed nuclei.
Specifically, eleven bus lines will connect the municipalities of the Marina Alta with the start-up of the new public transport network announced by the Ministry of Housing, Public Works and Vertebration of the Territory.

Dénia, as capital of the region, will be the start and end of six of the routes.

- 2 route: Calp-Benissa-Dénia
- 3 route: Benissa-Orba
