Where do I get the bus from?

Convenience

Taking the bus is a relatively inconvenient option as you’ll need to take a taxi to the bus station, and then only three buses depart daily even during the high season. Unless the departure times align with your schedule, you may need to wait several hours for the next bus. Nevertheless, this may be a good option for you if you’re travelling solo, are packing light, and are staying looking to cut costs.

Editor’s Note

The exact departure times may change depending on the season, so ensure you check the timetable in advance of your trip.

Useful Tips

Ticket prices tend to be slightly cheaper on the M Ticket—Via Corsica app than purchasing them from the driver.
Tell your driver your destination as you board. That way, they can tell you which stop you should get off at.
The C1 bus connects many parts of Ajaccio, so it might be worth purchasing a booklet of tickets if you plan to get around the area by bus to secure discounted prices.
