Travelling by bus and sea shuttle

Leave your car behind and opt for sustainable transport to explore Provence Méditerranée. Thanks to the réseau Mistral, included in your City Card, you can enjoy accessible and user-friendly public transport, whilst reducing your carbon footprint. Buses and sea shuttles allow you to travel freely between towns: from Six-Fours to Hyères, from Toulon to La Seyne-sur-Mer and from Le Pradet to Ollioules, they take you from town to town and from cove to harbour, in complete comfort.

Unlimited travel on the réseau Mistral with your City Card

With your City Card, make the most of the réseau  Mistral and its sustainable transport options, included with unlimited access for 24 hours, 48 hours or 3 days. Buses, sea shuttles and on-demand buses make getting around the area easy, with no parking worries.  

To reach the towns along the harbour (Toulon, La Seyne-sur-Mer and Saint-Mandrier), the réseau Mistral offers three regular sea shuttle routes. On the water, you’ll naturally succumb to the charm of maritime transport, spending around fifteen minutes admiring the historic fortifications, the surrounding hills and the huts of the mussel and fish farmers. 

Is your accommodation far from the bus stops? The Appel bus service allows you to book a minibus to take you to the nearest stop at a time that suits you. 

Whether you choose the Provence Med City Card for 1 day, 2 days or 3 days, you’re opting for a simple, flexible and enjoyable way to explore Provence Méditerranée. 

Buses and sea shuttles for everyone

Accessibility for people with disability

Accessible platforms, electric boarding aids, access ramps, audio announcements… The réseau Mistral is developing solutions to make travel easy and enjoyable for people with all types of disabilities. 

On board, designated spaces for wheelchairs and pushchairs are clearly marked. 

Pets on board

Small dogs must be placed in a carrier and travel free of charge. 
Large dogs must be kept on a lead and muzzled. All dogs pay the ‘single journey’ fare, with the exception of guide dogs for blind passengers, which travel free of charge.

Tips to enjoy our public transport 

Validity period of travel tickets

Tickets on the réseau Mistral are valid for a set number of days, not hours. You therefore have unlimited travel for 1 day, 2 days or 3 days. In practical terms, this means that if you validate your City Card at 3 pm, your journeys on Day 1 will be unlimited until midnight (some routes operate a night service from Thursday to Saturday evenings).
