Buses, trams, and other practical tips
Being a tourist, I thought the city of Clermont-Ferrand was pretty well covered in terms of public transport. The only tram line will allow you to go directly from the center to the historic district of Montferrand, in 15 minutes. The many bus lines also allow you to save a few long trips if you are being left near the center or even up in cities than adjoin with Clermont-Ferrand. You buy the tram tickets at one of the machines they have at each stop. You can buy the bus tickets from the driver. The unit price is 1.40 € and the ticket is good for 1 hour and 10 mins from the first trip. If traveling in a group or you are going to use it multiple times the transports while staying advise buy a book of 10 tickets for 11.60 € (small savings, but it is a saving!).
