Getting around

Bus & tram

Bus

Details on Dijon’s bus network, operated by Divia, are available from L’Espace Bus (08 00 10 20 04; www.divia.fr in French; place Grangier; 7.30am-6.45pm Mon-Fri, 8.30am-6.30pm Sat). Single tickets, sold by drivers, cost €0.90 and are valid for an hour; a Forfait Journée ticket is good all day and costs €3, available from the tourist office or L’Espace Bus.

Dijon has two kinds of bus line: ‘Liane’ lines, which are numbered 1 through 7 and run every 10 minutes or less from about 5.30am to 12.30am (on Sunday from 9am to midnight); and somewhat less frequent ‘Ligne’ lines, which are numbered from 10 to 51 and run from about 5.40am to 8.30pm (from 1pm on Sunday). Bus lines are known by their number and end-of-the-line station.

The free Diviaciti minibus shuttle does a city centre circuit from 7am to 8pm Monday to Saturday. Liane 1, 3, 5 and 6 run along rue de la Liberté.
