If you regularly use public transport, there’s news on the Zou network that you’ll want to note, and it’s good news! With the completion of work on Avenue Jean Jaurès in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, passengers headed to Menton or Nice will no longer need to change lines in Monaco. Starting Saturday, April 6, 2024, lines 607, from Nice to Monaco via Place d’Armes, and 608, from Menton to Monaco, will merge to form line 600, formerly known as line 100.
The line will be accessible from Nice (Square Normandie Niemen stop) and will reach Menton (Gare Routière stop), passing through Monaco. It will serve the following cities in particular: Nice, Villefranche-sur-Mer, Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Èze-sur-Mer, Cap-d’Ail, Monaco, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, and Menton.

Please note that due to ongoing construction, the Arson/Fodéré bus stop in Nice on the Nice/Monaco route has been moved 50 meters towards the port, near the Port Lympia/Arson stop. The construction is expected to be completed by the end of May 2024.
Line 601 for night travel
For those who need to travel in the evening or even at night, line 601 (formerly Noctambus) is available.
