Before setting off, check the timetable for your travel date: high-season services follow a specific calendar.
Local buses and journey planning
Which local bus do you need for your destination?
You can choose between circular route C and daytime routes 01–08, depending on the neighbourhood or facility you are heading to.
Check the stops along the route to work out exactly where to board and get off.
Circular route C and daytime routes 01–08
