Due to the large crowds expected around the stadium, RTM frequently modifies the service and route of some of the bus lines that usually run in the vicinity 2 hours before the event. It is therefore important to consult the traffic alerts published on the RTM application and website(www.rtm.fr)Timetable: operates from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Access to the stadium by car and park-and-ride

It is always very difficult to get to the stadium by car: many of the parking lots around the stadium will be closed and reserved for the organization of the event hosted by the stadium. Many streets may also be unexpectedly blocked.

For holders of a RTM pass with photo, there are two possible scenarios:

You havea permanent, annual, 30-day, 7-day or free circulation pass.Use the free park-and-ride facilities to park your car and then take the metro to the stadium. The park-and-ride facilities are La Rose, La Fourragère, Louis Armand, St Just, Gèze, Bougainville, Frais Vallon.
You use your nominative card with a cash reserve that you top up as you go along. Proceed to a park-and-ride lot. At the entrance, validate your RTM card and park. Take a bus, metro or streetcar to and from the car park. When you leave the parking lot, €2.20 will be deducted directly from your transport card. Make sure you have enough money in reserve, and note that parking is permitted from the time the park-and-ride lot opens until 8am the next morning. What’s more, the last validation of the return journey must not be more than 2 hours before leaving the parking lot.
