The regional buses are also 1.50 per journey but the Ligne D’Azur ticket may NOT be used.
Enter bus from the front and exit from the back . Always validate your ticket as Inspectors are frequent visitors to check tickets.
The bus to Monte Carlo is the Number 100 by the coast or the 100x via the motorway 1.50 each way and always very busy.
The train is 3.60e each way …..not quite the same scenery but more efficient and easier to get a seat. (I still prefer the 100 bus even if I have to stand the scenery is so beautiful).
The Cannes bus, number 200, leaves from just outside the apartment. Out the door, turn left and straight down to the first bus stop you meet. 1.50e each way.
In the summer the railway offers a day ticket at a reduced rate. Not sure as yet of this years price but could be used for Monte Carlo in the morning and Cannes later in the day, or Ventigmelia (Italy) in the morning and Cannes in the evening. Lots of options.
