The TBM network has 25 park-and-rides throughout Greater Bordeaux. They are conveniently located close to tram and bus routes, meaning you can easily pick up public transport before or after using your car. There are a number of different offers: daily, short-stay, park-and-ride subscribers, etc.
Please note: Park-and-Ride facilities can only be accessed with paper tickets (P+R ticket, 1-day, 7-day, Evening Pass, short-stay ticket) and TBM season tickets (Pass Jeune, le Pass, Pass Salarié, Pass Senior, Solidaire, Modalis TBM + TER, Modalis TBM + CAR).
How do I use a TBM Park-and-Ride?
- To enter a park-and-ride, press the entry button at the barrier. You will see two different lanes: one for season ticket holders and the other for occasional users.
- If you don’t have a ticket, go to the P+R machine or the tram station nearby. You can buy your ticket there.
The Park & Ride ticket entitles 1 to 7 people to a return trip during the day. - Validate your ticket every time you get on a tram, bus or Bat3 (even when you’re just changing from one service to another).
- To exit the park-and-ride, insert your validated ticket into the barrier machine or place your card on the reader.
If you have a TBM season ticket
Your day’s parking in a park-and-ride is included in your TBM season ticket along with your tram, bus and Bat3 journeys. Validate your TBM card at the entrance to the park-and-ride to raise the barrier. Then validate your ticket again on a tram or bus. To exit, hold your TBM card to the reader.
