Bus Services in Burgundy

Bus services connect most towns and villages. The Mairie (town hall) or local Tourist Office can advise on municipal travel within towns and cities. Many of the Mairie and municipal websites have a transport section with timetables of public transport and links to other sites.

Local Tourist Offices and their websites are a good source of travel information. Staff are generally able to speak English and can offer help with making bookings and provide timetables.

Local Bus Services

Burgundy's four départements are served by an urban bus system. Generally, information on routes and timetables is available from local SNCF Train Stations, bus stations (gares routières), Tourist Offices and Bar Tabacs. The websites of the Conseils Générals of each département have information on the local bus services.
