In the largest city on the French Riviera, the bus network is well developed. The public transport system is called “Lignes d’Azur” (“Azure Line”).
The fare in Nice’s public transport is 1.7 EUR, with the possibility of transfers within 74 minutes. Single and daily tickets can be purchased from the driver. Buses stop on request.
A tip for tourists who wish to use this means of transport in Nice: if you want to board, raise your hand — the bus will stop; if you want to get off, press the button on the handrail.
Fare information
The northern and eastern parts of the city are connected by a tram line. The tram runs through Place Masséna, Avenue Jean Médecin, the train station, Promenade du Paillon, Place Garibaldi, and the bus terminal. The ticket price is the same as for the bus. A 10-trip ticket costs 10 EUR, and a 7-day pass costs 15 EUR. Tickets can be purchased from vending machines at tram stops.
Traveling around Nice can also be inexpensive thanks to its environmentally friendly city transport — bicycles. A one-day pass costs 1 EUR: the first 30 minutes are free, and each additional hour costs 1 EUR. A weekly pass costs 5 EUR with the same conditions.
It is not customary to hail a taxi in the streets of Nice. You need to call one by phone or go to a taxi stand. Near the train station, you can also rent an electric car.
