Cyprus is small (3rd-largest Mediterranean island, 240km coast) and car-dependent outside the central districts of Limassol and Nicosia. Public transport is improving but is not the headline option for most expats.
5,700 bus stops and 808 routes published by 7 operators. Cyprus has no single transit authority — each district company publishes its own timetable, which is why the figures below are per operator rather than island-wide.
| District | Stops | Routes |
|---|---|---|
| Nicosia | 1,778 | 194 |
| Limassol | 1,401 | 254 |
| Larnaca | 1,040 | 133 |
| Paphos | 889 | 112 |
| Famagusta | 446 | 53 |
| INTERCITY island-wide | 123 | 60 |
| PAME EXPRESS island-wide | 23 | 2 |
These are stops and routes, not a service-quality measure. The timetable says where a bus is scheduled to call; it says nothing about frequency in practice, reliability or crowding. Intercity and Pame Express are listed separately because attributing a coach stop to the district it sits in would overstate local provision.
