Monaco buses will remain free until January 2, 2023
The free trial, which was to end this Sunday, has been extended.

Finally, the Government has just announced that the test will be extended until January 2, 2023. “ The State services want to give themselves the time and the means to collect and analyze in their entirety data on the impact of this measure both on the use of the buses of the Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco (CAM), road traffic in town correlated with the use of public car parks, changes in the level of automobile pollution. This quantified information will be as much help in decision-making on the conclusions to be made to this test. “, can we read on the press release.
The National Council had also requested this extension, following a meeting on November 10, but until next spring: “ this could provide the perspective needed to analyze changes in behavior in a more relevant way, while requiring residents more time to change their habits on a lasting basis, by favoring softer mobility for all their journeys in the city. (…) This measure, widely appreciated by users, is a strong marker of Monaco’s commitment to a sustainable Principality.. »
