Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco (CAM) is the main public transport operator in Monaco. The company operates 6 regular bus lines, a night service, the Boat-Bus service and several school reinforcements.

History

The Compagnie des Tramways de Monaco (CTM), created in 1897, operated several tramway lines during its existence.[1] The trams circulated for the last time on January 26, 1931, before being replaced by buses. In 1939, the CAM succeeded the network of the former CTM.

In 2019 CAM started collaboration with Canadian company PBSC Solutions Urbaines to provide the Principality with a possibility to get around easily and in an environmentally friendly manner. There are 35 MonaBike stations as of 2020 and if the system works well, other stations will emerge.[2]

CAM's goal by 2030, is to have 100% carbon-free, electric or hydrogen buses.[2]

Routes

There are six bus routes in Monaco, all operated by Compagnie des Autobus de Monaco.[3] There are 143 bus stops through the Principality.

There are four other bus routes which connect Monaco with neighbouring regions.[4]

There are two night routes.

There is a ferry service "Bateaubus" which operates between both sides of Monaco port. The boat is powered by electricity and operates under the urban bus system tariff.
