Tickets can be purchased from your bus driver or from ticket machines situated at bus and Tempo stops (please note, tickets cannot be purchased on board the tramway or the Tempo BRT). For weekly, monthly or yearly subscriptions, visit the 'Espace mobilité’ to create your rechargeable Moovéa travel card.
Signal to the driver that you wish to board the bus. Trams and Tempo services stop at every stop.
Board the bus using the front door and alight using the middle or back doors. All doors can be used for boarding and alighting on the tramway and Tempo BRT.
