Les bus Tango s'adaptent. Midi Libre – MiKAEL ANISSET

Un dispositif spécifique est mis en place du 12 au 15 septembre

L'Agglo adapte ses transports en commun à la feria des Vendanges. Dans un communiqué, Franck Proust, Président de Nîmes Métropole et Jean-Marc Campello, vice-président délégué aux mobilités et infrastructures de transports expliquent la démarche : "In the calendar of the people of Nîmes, the Pentecost and Grape Harvest Ferias take a very special place. Adapting our public transport network to this major event is essential. This is why the Agglomeration of Nîmes Métropole is setting up 2 night lines to allow users to return more easily and peacefully from the various park and ride facilities"

 

F1 and F2 : 2 night lines to party in spirit quiet 

 

To accompany the party-goers during the Feria evenings, Tango is setting up 2 night tram’bus lines starting on Thursday, September 12:

– Line F1 (Feria 1): Caissargues <> Musée Romanité

– Line F2 (Feria 2): Laennec <> Daisies(La Glacière stop)

These lines run from 10pm until 1am after the bodegas close:
– Thursday 12th until 3am (1 bus every 20 minutes)
– Friday 13th and Saturday 14th until 4am (1 bus every 20 minutes)

No shuttle to the villages (except Caissargues with F1 and Marguerittes with F2).
 

Free park and ride lots

– A54 (served by F1)

– Costières/parnasse (served by F1)
