Cannes Transport

Cannes has a public transportation system, but it consists solely of bus services so many visitors hire cars during their stay for extra convenience. Taxis are also available but can work out expensive if used regularly over an extended period. The city's bus network is extensive and services have a reasonably good reputation for both regularity and efficiency. Single ticket prices are affordable, but anyone planning on regular use of the services should consider purchasing one of the books of tickets or passes that are available. These can be purchased from drivers or at bus stations. more...
