Once the ticket has been validated, you can travel freely on the entire Marseille bus, tram and metro network for a period of 60 minutes. If you change modes of transport, you must systematically validate your ticket. As long as you are within the first 60 minutes, the terminal reader will indicate “unchanged balance”. You only pay once.
