2016 Trip – Tip 2 – Marseilles Airport

At Marseilles-Provence Airport, the buses (navettes) for the airport train station (Vitrolles MP) leave from stop 3. My train left Vitrolles at 17:25. The airport train station bus arrived at 17:00. I got on the bus along with many other people. We waited until 17:19 before leaving, which meant we arrived at the station as the train was on the platform. Most people ran to get on the train and I just managed to catch the train before it left.

But the bus could have left sooner – we’d waited at the airport for nearly 20 minutes. If an elderly or infirm person was trying to catch that train they’d have missed it. Why does the bus have to leave so late?

My tip is to warn you that if you catch this navette to Vitrolles, you should hurry to the platform as it’s the policy of the bus company to only leave 5 minutes for the trip.
