The Prince’s Government and the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco have recently launched a total of four new express lines in Monaco. The first two new lines connect the East and West of the Principality, while two other lines connect the new Salines car park with Monaco-Ville.
X3 and X4
As of Monday 22 April, public transport users have begun taking advantage of two new routes, which have few stops, making them extra speedy. The routes run from Monday to Friday (except on public holidays) from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Line X3 connects the Larvotto district and the Fontvieille Shopping Centre. The route begins at the Lavotto Terminus and ends at the Albert II terminus. Line X4 goes from the Saint-Roman stop, along boulevard du Larvotto before going through La Dorsale to reach the Albert II terminus alongside the X3 line.
Opening of New Salines car park and Two more express bus lines…
One week before the launch of the X3 and X4 bus routes, two other bus routes were launched. The new routes were created to meet the needs of the new Salines Car Park. The car park has 1,790 parking spaces for cars and 100 spaces for two-wheeled vehicles and opened to the public on 16 April. The new car park also features two Monabike electric bike stations with a total of 63 attachments installed at -1 and -15 of the car park, which are currently available.
Express Shuttle No. 1 connects the new Salines Car Park to Places d’Armes without an intermediate stop, while Express Shuttle No. 2 heads to the Monte-Carlo Tourist Office after a single stop at the Pont Sainte Dévote. These two express lines run every 10 minutes from Monday to Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Other than the launch of the four new express lines, the current Line 2 (which goes from Jardin Exotique to Monaco Ville) will now have an extended schedule with departures beginning 6:00 a.m. instead of 7:00 a.m. at intervals of every 15 minutes. From 7:00 a.m. onwards, buses will come every 10 minutes. During rush hours, buses on Line 2 will arrive every 5 minutes.
