Kartatoo
[edit]Kartatoo is a public transport pass system introduced during the first term of 2007. The Kartatoo card was introduced[1] using an optional subscription system to Urban networks at a reduced price. This system is offered to TER commuters (Via pro for labourers) and allows users to purchase a monthly ticket on the Montpellier Agglomération and Nîmes Métropole networks. The scheme should be open to students (Via études) from September 2007 and to all from the end of 2008.[1]
These new measures also come with the creation of 3 new fare zones between Montpellier and Nîmes. West to East, the three zones are centred on Montpellier (from the station Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone to that of Saint-Brès–Mudaison), Lunel (Valergues–Lunel-Vieil to Uchaud) and Nîmes (Milhaud to Manduel–Redessan).[1]
The affected area will be extended towards the West to Agde, Béziers and Narbonne during 2008 with all inhabitants of Languedoc-Roussillon concerned from 2009.[1]
