The Marseille metro

The Marseille metro, also known as the Marseille-Provence-Métropole metro, is an underground mass transit system serving the city of Marseille, France. Here’s some information about the Marseille metro:

Lines: The Marseille metro network currently has two lines in service, called line 1 (blue) and line 2 (red). Line 1 links La Rose stations to La Fourragère station, while line 2 connects Gèze station to Sainte-Marguerite Dromel station in the south of the city.

Stations: The Marseille metro has a total of 29 stations, some of which are interconnected with other modes of transport, such as buses and streetcars. Among the busiest stations are Vieux-Port, Réformés-Canebière and Saint-Charles, which is also Marseille’s main train station.

Operator: The Marseille metro is managed and operated by the Régie des Transports de Marseille (RTM), the city’s public transport operator. RTM also manages other modes of transport, including buses, streetcars and ferries.

Frequencies and timetables: In general, the Marseille metro runs from 5:00 a.m. to midnight, with regular frequencies during peak hours and more frequent intervals outside these hours. It’s best to consult the specific timetables for each line and station, as they may vary slightly depending on the day of the week.

Ticketing: To travel on the Marseille metro, you need to buy a valid ticket, such as a single ticket, a day ticket or a season ticket. Tickets can be purchased at ticket machines located in stations or via the RTM mobile application.

Future expansion: Plans are underway to extend Marseille’s metro network, with a third line (line 3) planned to link Marseille’s northern districts with the Marseille-Provence airport.
