Trams are a convenient way to explore Strasbourg.

Strasbourg’s sights are compactly clustered and can be seen on foot, but trams are a more efficient way to get around.

The view of the city from the tram is also very different from the view on foot.

However, as is the case in all regional cities in France, it is a little more difficult to understand how to purchase tickets.

It can be confusing at first, but once you get used to it, you will have no problems.
Please use our website as a guide and try using trams and buses when visiting Strasbourg.

Now let me introduce you to some of them.

How to purchase tickets

First, go to the ticket machine.

There is not much of a queue.

The LCD area in the centre is the operation screen, while the calculator-like area on the right is the payment section for credit cards and other payments.

The round central dial controls the screen.

If the CTS logo is displayed in full screen, turn or press the bottom right dial to switch to this screen.

You can select English, so there should be no problems with the operation.

First, choose left or right – if you are buying for the first time, choose right.

CTS tickets are designed to be reusable.
So, for example, when you buy a ticket for the second time, you have to select Rechargement on the left-hand side and recharge the ticket you already have.
In this case, you will get a slightly reduced rate, so keep the ticket with you until the end.
When recharging, place the ticket in the box below the dial.

Proceed to the purchase screen.

Turn the dial to proceed to the purchase screen.

How to use tickets

automatic ticket gate

Using the ticket is very simple.

There are automatic ticket gates like this one on the tram platform, so simply hold your ticket over it.

Be sure to check that it makes a sound.

Automatic ticket gates at bus entrances.

For buses, there is a red box inside the vehicle like this, which you can touch to use.

You can also buy tickets on board the bus, but please note that they are more expensive at €2 each.

Remember to have your ticket read by the automatic ticket gate machine.
If your ticket is not read properly and you get on the train and are caught by the ticket checker, you will be fined a hefty amount.
You will never be exempted because you are a tourist, so always remember to check that you have heard a tone.

Summary

We were two people travelling this time and we bought tickets TRIO.

We chose this ticket for its overall value as we planned to use the tram and bus three times in total during our visit to Strasbourg.
