The four tram lines — 1, 2, 3 and B — along with numerous bus services will operate on Sunday and public holiday timetables throughout the day.

A number of departures will therefore be cancelled or run less frequently than usual.Lines 36, 37, Cadam Est and 99 will not operate at all. No disruption is expected on the rest of the network, while Lignes d’Azur’s commercial offices and Park-and-Ride facilities will remain open.

The strike, the fourth since the start of the summer, has been called by the CFTC and Sud Solidaires unions. They cite a lack of dialogue over pay and working conditions as the main reason for the industrial action.

Passengers are advised to check Lignes d’Azur’s traffic information for the latest updates before travelling.
