Transport in Monaco

Monaco's compact and steep urban territory shapes how people travel. Around 80 public lifts, 37 escalators and 8 travelators connect districts, the railway station, parking facilities and bus stops. Monaco Malin provides pedestrian connections, while the Mairie de Monaco and the Gouvernement Princier can temporarily restrict vehicle or pedestrian movement during events. The Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco, known as CAM, operates six regular daytime lines: 1 between Monaco-Ville and Saint-Roman, 2 between Monaco-Ville and Jardin Exotique, 3 between Fontvieille and Hector Otto, 4 between Fontvieille and Saint-Roman, 5 between Hôpital and Larvotto, and 6 between Fontvieille and Larvotto. Night services N1 and N2 and express services X1, X2 and X3 supplement the network. The electric Bateau-Bus crosses Port Hercule. A single journey costs €1.50 with Monapass, €2 when bought onboard, or less through multi-journey products. Other CAM products include a 24-hour ticket for €5.50, a 7-day ticket for €15, a monthly ticket for €22 and an annual ticket for €199. Reduced annual and monthly prices apply to people under 26. Open payment caps charges at €5.50 per operating day, €15 per week and €22 per calendar month. A validated ticket normally allows a free transfer within 30 minutes, and accompanied children under five travel free. Monapass, a CAM card or app, and onboard payment can be used where accepted; payment and validation are required. CAM Transport à la Demande, called ClicBus, provides reservation-based stop-to-stop travel. Daytime service connects Plati, Les Fleurs and Annonciade with hubs such as Place d'Armes, Fontvieille Centre Commercial, Monte-Carlo Tourisme, Place des Moulins and Hôpital from 7:00 to 21:20 every day. Night service covers all bus stops from 21:20 to 1:30, and until 2:30 on Fridays and Saturdays. ClicBus uses the regular CAM fares and electric minibuses, including vehicles suitable for passengers with reduced mobility. Reservations are made through the app or by phone. Monaco-Monte-Carlo station provides the country's rail connection. TER ZOU! trains link Monaco with Menton, Vintimiglia, Nice, Cannes, Grasse and Les Arcs-Draguignan. The Cannes-Nice-Monaco-Menton corridor has trains approximately every 15 minutes during the day, while Menton-Vintimiglia has approximately 30-minute weekday intervals. SNCF Voyageurs Sud and TER ZOU! provide access through the regional rail system; Monaco does not have a separate national rail network. Regional ZOU! Proximité bus lines 600 to 605 connect places including Nice, Monaco, Menton, Èze, La Turbie and Peille. ZOU! Express 80 links Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, Monaco and Menton. The Héliport de Monaco and MONACAIR provide a commercial premium connection to Nice Airport. The flight takes approximately seven minutes, departures are approximately every 30 minutes and prices start at about €195. Taxi Monaco provides an official service around the clock through its app or by phone; the published flat fare within Monaco is €18, and the motorway fare to Nice Airport is €100. These services complement public transport but do not replace the regular bus and rail network. MonaBike is Monaco's public electric-bike sharing service, with approximately 350 e-bikes at 49 stations. Access is available through Monapass, PBSC, a QR code or a card. A single 30-minute trip costs €1, 24-hour access costs €3, 7-day access €8, monthly access €18 and an annual bike-only plan €72. The first 30 minutes included in a plan are free, additional time is charged, and a €300 deposit applies. Users should return the bicycle to a station with an available dock; the maximum trip duration is 24 hours. MOBEE provides 100% electric free-floating car sharing around the clock without fixed stations. Cars must be returned within Monaco, and access to partner public parking facilities is often free. SMEG is responsible for the MOBEE service, and charging points are available in public and private parking facilities. Monaco Parkings administers public parking. The Salines park-and-ride facility, Galerie des Salines and express buses X1 and X2 support a change from private cars to public transport. Parking prices depend on the facility and are regulated annually, so the current tariff should be checked for the selected car park. A valid driving licence is required for the vehicle category. Foreign licences from a Vienna Convention state, the European Union, the European Economic Area or a state covered by reciprocity are recognized while valid, but generally only for up to one year after normal residence is acquired. Normal residence uses a habitual-stay threshold of at least 185 days per year; residents must obtain or exchange a Monegasque licence within one year or the foreign licence ceases to be valid for driving in Monaco. Electric personal transport devices are subject to Monaco's road traffic rules, established by Sovereign Ordinance No. 1.691 and amended in 2026. Motorized devices may travel at no more than 25 km/h. Electric scooters and similar devices must use cycle lanes where available and may use the roadway at no more than 50 km/h where no cycle lane exists; children under 12 may not use them. Non-motorized personal transport devices may be used only in places designated by the municipality. Local traffic orders can temporarily change these baseline rules during events. Transport accounts for approximately 33% of Monaco's greenhouse-gas emissions, with individual cars accounting for approximately 13%. Monaco's policy target is to reduce direct greenhouse-gas emissions by 55% from 1990 levels by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050. The Mobility Plan launched in 2024 supports fewer individual-car journeys, park-and-ride use, express buses, shared mobility, electric vehicles and transfers between transport modes. These are policy objectives and implemented measures; the target achievement has not been independently confirmed.
