Take the bus in France

TRAINS have long dominated travel in #France, but legislation to deregulate aspects of the country’s economy is opening up the long distance bus industry. GoEuro.co.uk, the search engine for comparing flights, coach and rail travel options across Europe, has created a comprehensive map of all the 250 new routes available across France and into Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Belgium. 

France is expected to have more than five million additional coach passengers within the next year, resulting in 22,000 more jobs. The deregulation of the market is also expected to see a 10% to 70% drop in ticket prices over the next year as more operators come into the market.

British companies such as National Express and Megabus are expected to expand their services in France.

The most popular long distance bus journeys in France are those between Paris and other major French and European cities such as London, Amsterdam, Brussels, Barcelona, Lyon, and Marseille. Travellers might appreciate the services running through the south of France, including the A9 road to Barcelona and the A7 –Highway of the Sun – which has been deemed the most beautiful motorway in France.
