A 100% Beach Bus for the Locals

In response to the growing success of the summer bus lines in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine Region, often packed starting from Bordeaux, four communities in the western part of the Bordeaux metropolitan area – Saint-Médard-en-Jalles, Saint-Aubin, Sainte-Hélène, and Salaunes – have joined forces. The result: a dedicated bus line, the 421 line, reserved for their residents, to reach the ocean beaches of Lacanau or Lake Moutchic all summer long.


A daily service for 2 months

The service runs from Saturday, June 28 to Friday, August 29, with a daily departure at 10 AM from the TBM bus station in Saint-Médard-en-Jalles (Avenue du Général de Gaulle) and a return from Lacanau-Océan at 5:30 PM. You can also get on or off at the Saint-Médard-en-Jalles – Picot stop.

As for the prices, here's the pleasant surprise: expect to pay €2.50 for a one-way ticket,€4.50 for a round trip. The ticket is free for children under 4 years old and costs €0.40 for young people or those in need with proof of eligibility.

Tickets can be reserved through the CAR33 app. You can find all the details on transports.nouvelleaquitaine.fr or call 0970 870 870 (8am-7pm, Monday to Saturday).
