Bus Travel Provence-Beyond (Beyond the French Riviera) ® [ Air | Bus | Rail | Road | Sea | Driving Times | Tours | Trip 98 | What to Wear ] Also: [ Marseille-Transportation | Nice-Transportation | and other village pages ] Below: [ Avignon-Cavaillon | Cavaillon-Gordes | Cavaillon-Forcalquier | Nice-Aix-Marseille | Nice-Digne-Gap | Marseille-Embrun-Briançon | Gap-Corps-Grenoble | Toulon-St Tropez-Nice ] Bus service tends to be local, centered on larger towns to serve the surrounding areas. We have bus information included with some of the town/village pages, but will try to get most town-to-town information collected here (eventually). A good source for routes and schedules is the Guide Régional des Transports, published by the SNCF and available free at train stations. It has information on the Trains Express Régionaux (TER), which is a network of trains and buses. Note: Schedule (and cost) information is obtained once and updated very infrequently, so might not be exact as shown. Schedules vary only slightly, if at all, from year to year. If the precise schedule is important to you, be sure to get the latest schedules from the bus company or appropriate Office de Tourisme.
