The cheapest Buses fare in France is €10.07 for one passenger, across the 2,868 routes we sell there. The median route runs 354 km in a straight line, which is the distance that fare should be read against before comparing it to anywhere else.
Can I travel out of France by Buses?
764 of the Buses routes we sell touching France cross a border and 2104 stay inside it, reaching 15 other countries including Italy, Germany, Austria. Cross border routes are usually the ones where the fare and the journey time differ most between operators.
Which operators run Buses services in France?
20 operators run Buses services on routes we sell in France: Aléop, BlaBlaCar, Ecov, FlixBus, IDFM. Each is a real carrier from the published operator catalogue, and each has its own fares and conditions. The operator table on this page compares them on speed, flexibility and what is on board.
What is the longest Buses route in France?
The longest Buses route we sell touching France runs from Palermo to Paris, 1,485 km in a straight line. The median route in the country is 354 km, so this one is a considerable outlier and the fares on it behave differently from the rest.
Where these numbers come from
Schedules, seat counts and fares are generated by our own model until the supplier contracts are signed. Places, coordinates, operators, which operator serves which pair, and every distance are real. We would rather say that on every page than let a modelled number pass for a filed one.
