🚇Public Transport Montpellier

Montpellier's four tram lines are the backbone of its public transport. They connect major neighborhoods, universities, and key attractions, offering frequent and reliable service throughout the day.

Complementing the trams, an extensive bus network reaches areas not covered by the tram lines. Buses are crucial for local commutes and accessing specific districts.

Download the official TaM app for real-time tram and bus schedules, route planning, and service updates. It's indispensable for efficient travel.

Gare Saint-Roch is the central train station and a major TaM hub where all tram lines converge, making it easy to transfer between different routes.

For late-night travel, the Amigo night bus service operates on weekends, connecting the city center to various neighborhoods after tram services end.

Always offer seats to the elderly, pregnant women, or those with disabilities. Keep bags off seats and avoid blocking doorways for smooth boarding and alighting.

Trams run frequently (every 5-10 minutes during peak hours) from early morning until late evening. Bus frequencies vary; check the TaM app for specifics.
