Monaco is making significant strides toward its sustainable mobility goals with the gradual integration of electric buses into its public transport system. By the end of the year, at least 22 of the buses operated by the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco (CAM) will be fully electric, with the ultimate goal of achieving a 100% electric fleet by 2030.

The Monaco Government has made substantial investments in its transport network in recent years, alongside wider initiatives to help residents and visitors transition from individual vehicle use to public transport and greener travel options.

CAM currently operates six regular bus lines, four express routes, two night lines and an electric ferry that crosses Port Hercule, introduced back in 2009. Electric buses, adapted to the Principality’s compact road layout, have been gradually integrated into the network since 2022. By the end of 2025, an additional 12 electric buses will be added to the fleet. Plans are also in motion to increase this number by 13 before the year is out, bringing the total number of electric buses on Monaco’s roads to 35.

The overarching goal, ambitious yet achievable, is for the CAM network to be fully electric by the end of the decade, making travel around Monaco cleaner and greener.
