Sardinian public transportation network ARST provides a relatively efficient service around the city and its surroundings. Bus lines run from around 06:30 to 20:30. Tickets can be bought from newspaper stands and tobacconists, marked with a big black and white T outside the shop. A 90-minute ticket is €1 when purchased in advance or €1.50 on the bus. Have exact change ready when you buy the ticket on the bus. Other options include a 1-day ticket (€2.50) and a carnet of 12 90-minute tickets (€10). Tickets must be clipped once on board.

ARST also provides connections between Oristano and neighbouring towns in the province. Price tickets vary depending on distance run.
