The TBM network provides several parking lots where you can leave your car and move around more easily. As these lots are built close to the tram and bus routes, you can easily combine a car trip with public transport.
How does it work? |
Enter and exit a park and ride car park
- To enter a park and ride car park, press the open button at the entry gate. You will find two different queues: one for subscribers and the other for one-time users.
- If you do not have a transport ticket, head to the park and ride car park distributor or the distributor on the nearby tram station platform after parking your car to buy your ticket.
The park and ride car park ticket gives you 7 round trips in a day for 1 - 7 people. - Validate your ticket every time you enter a tram or bus or in the BATO (even when changing lines).
- To exit a park and ride car park, scan your same day validated ticket, card or the TBM app in the exit terminal. (The TBM app does not open the Cap Metiers, Quatre Chemins, Caroline Aigle, Pessac centre, Merignat centre or Arena park and ride car parks.).
How much does it cost ? |
If you have a TBM subscription
Same day parking in a park and ride car park is included in your TBM subscription just like your trips on the tram, bus and BATO. When entering a park and ride car park, validate your TBM card to raise the gate. Then validate your transport ticket on a tram or bus line. To exit, scan your TBM card in the terminal.
If you do not have a TBM subscription yet
When entering a park and ride car park, press the open button to raise the gate. After parking, head to the park and ride car park or tram station distributor to buy a park and ride car park ticket (€4.50 or €3.50 reduced rate), a 24 hours ticket, a 7 days, un an Evening pass or a short stay. Validate your transport ticket on a tram or bus line. To exit, validate your ticket in the terminal.
Consider it!
You can enter and exit the park and ride car parks with your annual or monthly subscriptions, 24/7 tickets or evening passes purchased and validated on the TBM app!
