I tried to use an automatic machine at Mercado in Alicante to recharge my bus card Wed. 7th, but all have signs saying can't be used. All were working fine a few days ago. Does anyone know what is going on?
Thanks

Hopefully machines will return shortly and not show increased prices!!?
In the meantime, there is a TAM shop (bright green front) on the corner of the street beside entrance to the Mercado tram station.
Because of students topping up cards these days, there may be a queue but should have three or four staff to assist.
So just take a "turn" ticket and you can recharge any bus/tram card.
Also we find the ticket agents at the Luceros station useful as they have regular opening hours and a human being is always in the booth! They understand many languages too.
Machines there as well.
Good luck!

Thanks Maria, I tried the booth at Mercado but just got receipt to take to office, the machines not working at Luceros either.
I guess I will have to wait or queue.
