A new on demand mini-bus service in Monaco is set to vastly improve public transportation in underserviced parts of the Principality. Here’s how the ClicBus app and network will work.
Monaco might be small in size, but for many people living here, public transport can be a lifeline and makes getting around the hilly Principality considerably easier than travelling on foot.
In the Plati, Fleurs and Annonciade areas, however, public transport is virtually non-existent. To rectify this problem, Monaco has developed a new system, ClicBus, which will allow users to summon a bus to a stop closest to them and travel to one to four central locations: Place d’Armes, the Fontvieille Shopping Centre, the Monte-Carlo Tourism Office and Place des Moulins.
FOR INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS
Electric mini-buses with eight to 20 passenger seats will form the fleet.
Passengers can order a bus via the ClicBus app or by calling a designated phone number advertised at various bus stops served by the service. A bus will then come and collect the individual or group and take them on to their stop of choice from the pre-assigned list.
The service, which will be up and running from 25th March, will be available from 7am to 9.20pm seven days a week. A special night service from all bus stops in the Principality will extend these hours until 1.30am during the week and until 2.30am on weekends. The government has confirmed that these hours may be lengthened during summer months subject to need.
The service, which is being operated by Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco, was created at the instigation of the Prince’s Government and will cost the same all local bus lines.
From 23rd March, it will also replace the CAM 7 line.
Tickets can be purchased on the bus or with the use of a standard CAM network subscription.
