Monaco launched its new on-demand transport service, ClicBus Monaco, on 25 March.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A new type of transport for Monaco! ClicBus is part of the Mobility Plan launched by the Monaco Government in February. \n

The aim is to “respond to a real need to improve the public transport service in certain districts, which were not covered until now, in particular because the streets were too narrow or the layout wasn\u2019t suitable,”<\/em> Pascal Rouanet, Director of \nForward Studies, Urban Planning and Mobility, told Monaco Info.<\/p><\/p>\n\n

The new scheme is designed to be complementary to the existing public transport service. The network will improve mobility in three districts that were previously not covered: Plati, Fleurs et Annonciade. It connects four strategic parts of the Principality: Place d\u2019Armes, Fontvieille shopping centre, Monte-Carlo Tourisme and Place des Moulins.<\/p>\n

The new system will be operated by electric vehicles, including mini-buses suited to PRM [Persons with Reduced Mobility] transportation, with eight or 20 seats.<\/p>\n\n

Flexible timetables on demand<\/h2>\n\n

ClicBus Monaco\u2019s operating hours are extended to meet the needs of users. During the day, the service will be available 7 days a week, from 7 am to 9.20 pm. At night, it will serve all the Principality’s bus stops from 9.20 pm to 1.30 am, and until 2.30 am on Fridays and Saturdays, with the possibility of extending the timetable in summer. “Three vehicles will operate during weekdays, a little less at the weekend, and others at night,” <\/em>said Rapha\u00eblle De Rechniewski, project engineer at the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco, in an interview with Monaco Info.<\/p>\n

To use the service, just order a bus at the nearest bus stop using the mobile app or by phone during operating times. “You can make regular bookings, ahead of time, or at the last minute, but there will obviously be a little wait,” <\/em>she added.<\/p>\n\n

ClicBus Monaco fares are the same as on all of the Principality’s bus routes. The network’s tickets and season tickets are valid and tickets can be purchased on board.<\/p>\n\n

With the introduction of the new service, the CAM’s route 7 was withdrawn as of the evening of Saturday 23 March.<\/p>\n\n
