Worth knowing
From the airport toward Saint-Charles, every day: 04:05, 04:25, 04:40, then every 20 minutes to 07:00, every 10 minutes from 07:00 to 20:00, every 20 minutes from 20:00 to 01:40, and a 01:50 departure — 106 runs a day. The 04:25 and 01:50 departures run only May to October; the rest of the year the last coach is 01:40. Toward the airport from Saint-Charles: 03:30, 03:45, every 20 minutes to 07:00, every 10 minutes 07:00–20:00, every 20 minutes to 01:00, then 01:15 (May to October).
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.
