Nice: Public transport to become free for children under 11 – From July 1st, 2025, public transportation in the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolitan Area will be free for children under 11. The decision announced by Nice’s mayor Christian Estrosi follows a similar move by Montpellier’s mayor Michaël Delafosse, who introduced free transportation for all residents in his area. Currently, children over 4 pays for a season ticket or benefits from discounted fares. Under the new plan, Lignes d’Azur services will be free for children under 11, marking a significant step towards a more accessible transport. However, Estrosi remains against fully free public transport, arguing it could compromise service quality and local finances. He emphasized that the most vulnerable and non-taxable seniors (over 65) already enjoy free travel, representing 25% of passengers.
