Buses are a cost-effective way of getting around the city. San Sebastian's buses are clean and efficient, and fares usually cost less than a euro. You can save on bus fares by getting a bank card. You get this by opening a credit account in KUTXA. They will issue your card two weeks later. You can use this card to ride the city buses. The card is rechargeable – just visit the bank and pre-pay the corresponding amount you want. The card is not recommended for those who will only have a short stay in the city, as the card takes two weeks to process.
