The public transport network
Toulouse is very well served by two metro lines, the A and the B, which allow you to move easily and quickly through the city.
You can also use the Toulouse tramway to access places not served by the metro, such as the Aerospace Museum, the airport, or to reach a central metro station.
The bus network is also extensive, with around a hundred buses running throughout the city and the surrounding area to help you reach your destination. You will notably find the Linéo buses, which provide connections between municipalities and metro/tramway stations.
Finally, Téléo, Toulouse's brand new cable car, allows you to travel from Oncopole to the Paul Sabatier University while offering you a breathtaking view.
For the more athletic, you can also get around the city with Vélôtoulouse! Bike stations are located all over the city and allow you to purchase a pass and use a bike for a short-term rental.
