Getting around Bastia

The company Société des Autobus Bastiais manages the public road transport service in the city, through 11 bus lines, and three special lines.

The buses connect the entire city, including the port, in a capillary manner. Eleven bus lines, distinguished by a number and a different color, excellent for getting around Bastia; they are in service from early morning to 20:00 (times vary depending on the bus).
