The start of the school year in September will be marked by significant innovations in the network of Toulouse public transport. Of course, we will have to wait a few more months to travel in the air with the Téléo cable car, which could be put into service by the end of the year, but changes will take place on August 30. We take stock …
The metro until 3 a.m. on Thursdays
After Fridays and Saturdays, the metro will run until 3 a.m. on Thursdays. The offer was to be put into service in the fall of 2020 but the second wave of the covid had postponed the realization of this electoral promise of the mayor Jean-Luc Moudenc. As of Thursday, September 2, lines A and B will make their last departures from each terminus at 3 a.m.
A new 15 km bus line
August 30, a new 15 km long bus line will see the light of day. This is the line Colomiers-Oncopole southwest of the Pink City. This axis will connect the Oncopole to the Colomiers SNCF station via Basso-Cambo where a park-and-ride is under construction.
The objective of this new bus line is “to serve employment areas”, indicates Tisséo, which is intended “for working people, pupils and students”.
“Avoid the city center”
The organizing authority for public transport in the Toulouse metropolitan area details:
“This new line will allow users to avoid the city center of Toulouse, which has hitherto been an obligatory passage to get from the west to the south-east of Toulouse. Depending on the traffic, we aim for an average of 40 minutes to do Colomiers (station) -Oncopole. The frequency will be ten minutes in rush hour but will decrease to one bus every 30 minutes in off-peak hours. The operating hours will be from 6 am to 9 pm, Monday to Friday ”.
Here is the route of the future bus line 25 between Colomiers and the Oncopole
Readjustment on some lines
The arrival of line 25 will lead to some readjustments on lines 32 and 53.
In Colomiers, Bus line 32 resumes its historic route, more direct in the Ramassiers district, to link the center of Colomiers and the Ramassiers station. The new route will provide a service to the Nelson-Mandela high school, the heart of the city of Pibrac and the Escalette technological park and an extension to the Maudinat district by serving the Brax SNCF station.

As of August 30, the route of Bus line 53 will be shortened to Basso Cambo, the Basso Cambo – Oncopole section being served by the new Bus line 25.
Passage frequencies and hourly operating amplitude remain unchanged.
A new line is being put into service as an experiment for a direct link between the chemin de Peyrette and the city center of Tournefeuille as well as a service to the city center and from the ZAC de l’Apouticayre to Salvetat-Saint-Gilles.
A new subscription
Monday 23 August a new subscription comes into effect. This is a subscription intended for teleworkers, “With a limited number of trips”.
Tisséo thus wishes to “respond to new travel practices linked to the rise of teleworking”.
Concretely, teleworkers will now be able to buy, on their Pastel card, a 30-day rolling subscription for the entire Tisséo network, which will allow them to make 30 trips for 37 euros.
37 euros for 30 trips
A saving to the key for these regular users, but more necessarily daily, who would otherwise have to pay, since the increase in prices to 1is last July, a classic subscription at 54 euros for unlimited travel over 31 days with the Pastel card, or at 45 euros per month for users who opt for an annual subscription.
This new offer will also be open to all users without proof. It will also be eligible for the transport premium, which allows the employee to be reimbursed for 50% of his subscription by his employer.
