Lignes d’Azur Introduce New Fares

The new bus and tram fares being introduced by Lignes d’Azur come into effect in the region tomorrow – time to say goodbye to the €1 fare.

Starting tomorrow, Friday 3rd May 2013, the new bus and tram fares are being introduced on the Lignes d’Azur network. The €1 Solo fare, which was introduced in 2008 and has proven to be hugely popular, now increases to €1.50 per ticket.

Other fares that are affected include the ParcAzur ticket which increases from €2 to €3, the one day pass increases by €1 to €5 (the new daily pass is valid for 24 hours from the time of your first validation on bus or tram), but some good news, the weekly pass, valid for 7 days, remains at €15. The price of a10 journey ticket also remains unchanged at €10 per ticket. Monthly and annual subscribers will not be subject to these increases.

However, the daily and weekly passes cannot be used anymore for travel to the airport. A new Aéro ticket is being introduced, which will cost €6 for a one-way journey on the 98 or 99 bus lines, and is valid for travel for 74 minutes.

Of course, you can avail of some savings by boxing clever: consider taking the 23 or 52 buses from Nice to the airport for €1.50, or use a 10 journey ticket or your monthly or annual Lignes d’Azur pass for ParcAzur to avail of the original parking rates.

If you have a Solo ticket that you purchased for €1 or a €4 daily pass, please note that these will not be valid for travel from Friday, 3rd May. You will be able to exchange them for a new valid échange ticket at the Lignes d’Azur agency in Place Masséna at no extra cost.
