EUR 15 is the Métropole's own live figure and the airport shop's; the EUR 10 on the Métropole's 2025 sheet and in its 2025 tariff guide, still the documents a search turns up, is the price before 1 July 2026.
Tapping a bank card on board buys only the full-fare single. The EUR 7 youth fare, EUR 5 child fare and EUR 25 return are sold at the machines and Boutique in the bus station; cash on board is accepted only when the Boutique is shut. A 2026 price for the old ten-trip (EUR 65) and combined A1-plus-RTM (EUR 10.90) tickets isn't published.
The sheet says 30 to 50 minutes and the timetable 22 to 30; the airport's shop says 25. Between 07:30 and 08:50 and 16:00 and 17:50 the timetable itself allows 30, and the sheet's upper figure is for a motorway that is often full.
Last departure 01:50 (01:40 from November to April), first 04:05, every day. The bus-and-TER chain stops at 21:02–21:24; after that, only a taxi reaches Marseille, at the meter's night tariff.
A metro ticket is not included: a EUR 1.70 RTM single, or a bank card tapped at the gate, takes you on from Saint-Charles.
EUR 6.30 a head dearer than the chain at every size — EUR 120 against EUR 69.60 for eight — for a single vehicle, a hold for the bags, and the 19 hours a day the chain does not run.
