Here at Monaco IQ, we're great advocates of public transport and regularly report stories about local bus and rail services [1].
In addition to traditional forms of transport, the Principality also boasts a solar powered "bateau bus" (boat bus) that carries travelers from one side of the port to the other. It became a year-round service in December 2008 after transporting 52 000 passengers during the year, twice the number carried in 2007. A third of its users are locals.
From Monday 18 May, it's also going to be easier to get back and forth between Monaco and Nice Cote d'Azur Airport. A new schedule is being introduced for bus 110, which will now carry passengers every 30 minutes, double the previous frequency. This is certainly a welcome improvement, and a viable option to using the helicopter or taxi service, especially for professionals whose work regularly takes them away from Monaco.
