The Transtu buses run from 6:00 to 18:00.

Where do I get it from?

As soon as you step outside of the arrivals hall at Tunis airport, you will see the bus stops lined up just in front of you. Simply follow the signs that say Transtu and then look for the bus number 35 or 635.

Convenience

Although taking the bus is a good option if you’re travelling on a tight budget, it’s not the most convenient. There’s very limited storage space on the bus, so you will need to hold onto any large luggage items to stop them from falling throughout your journey. The bus also stops running at 18:00, so if you land after this time, you will need to find alternate transportation.

Editor’s Note

Although the bus is a great option if you're travelling on a budget, there's very little luggage storage or space on the bus. If you're travelling with larger luggage items or in a group, I suggest taking a taxi for your transfer into the city centre instead.

Useful Tips

There's very little luggage storage on the Transtu buses.

Be sure to arrive at least 10 minutes before the bus departs to ensure you get a seat.

You will need to carry change in the local currency to pay the bus driver as they usually don't have change for large notes.
