Match Football MHSC – Le Havre AC at Stade de la Mosson (13/08/2023)
The start of Ligue 1 is a moment awaited by football fans, and the match between MHSC and Le Havre AC, scheduled for August 13, 2023 at the Mosson stadium, is no exception. On this occasion, TaM, in collaboration with Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole, is setting up a special system to facilitate access to the stadium and improve the experience for supporters.
Reinforcement of Tram Lines
Line 1 will be reinforced in both directions at the start and end of the match between Saint-Eloi CHU station and Mosson station. This measure aims to meet the increase in demand and to ensure smooth and comfortable traffic for travellers.
Line 3 will also see an increase in the frequency of service between Mosson station and Pérols Etang de l’Or / Lattes Centre, allowing a better connection with other areas of the city.
Special package at 2 €
To encourage the use of public transport and provide an economical alternative to the car, a special €2 pass will be on sale on match day. This pass will allow a round trip on the TaM network and will be available on the M’Ticket application as well as in ticket vending machines located at tram stations.
Impact on Traffic and Additional Measures
It is expected that these measures will lead to an increase in the number of passengers on the lines concerned. Regular users are invited to take these changes into account and plan their trips accordingly.
TaM works closely with local authorities to ensure the safety and smooth running of operations. The teams will be mobilized to inform and assist travelers throughout the duration of the event.
Palmarosa Festival at the Domaine de Grammont (20/08/2023)
The second edition of the Palmarosa festival, which will be held on August 20 from 12:00 p.m. to 12:45 a.m. at the Domaine de Grammont, promises to be a major event in the cultural calendar of Montpellier. To meet the expected crowds and ensure a pleasant and safe experience for festival-goers, TaM is deploying a special transport system in partnership with the Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole.
Special Bus Shuttles
To facilitate access to the Domaine de Grammont, shuttle buses will be set up between the P+tram Circé (Place de France stop) and the festival venue. These shuttles will run from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., allowing festival-goers to arrive early and leave without haste. The use of these shuttles contributes to an eco-responsible approach by reducing the use of individual vehicles.
Extension of the circulation of Line 1 of the Tramway
In order to guarantee an easy return to the city center at the end of the evening, the circulation of tram line 1 will be extended with a last departure from the Place de France station at approximately 01:05. This time extension offers a practical alternative for those who wish to extend their evening in the city or who need connections with other means of transport.
Security and Accessibility
For safety reasons, it is important to note that line 52 will not run from 12:00 p.m. until the end of service. TaM will ensure an on-site presence to guide travelers and answer their questions. Security teams will also be reinforced to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
The second edition of the Palmarosa festival is part of a cultural and festive dynamic that is the pride of Montpellier. The measures put in place by TaM reflect the city’s commitment to supporting cultural events while promoting sustainable and conscious mobility. With these special transport devices, the Palmarosa festival is not only accessible, but also an ecological and pleasant experience for all participants.
Match Rugby MHR – Stade Rochelais at GGL Stadium (20/08/2023)
August 20, 2023 will mark a memorable sporting event at GGL Stadium: the rugby match between Montpellier Hérault Rugby (MHR) and Stade Rochelais. The metropolis of Montpellier, in collaboration with TaM, has organized a specific transport device for the occasion, thus ensuring that fans can enjoy the event in the best conditions.
Bus shuttles between the Stadium and Sabines Tram Station
In order to allow easy and quick access to the GGL Stadium, shuttle buses will be set up before and after the match, directly connecting the stadium to the Sabines tram station. These shuttles help to reduce traffic congestion around the stadium and offer a practical and efficient solution for supporters coming from different parts of the city.
Reinforcement of Line 2 of the Tramway
To ensure a smooth return to the city centre, tram line 2 will be reinforced from Sabines station. This measure will make it possible to increase the frequency of the trams and avoid saturation of the service, thus guaranteeing a comfortable journey for all passengers.
Coordination and Security
The coordination between the bus shuttles and the reinforcement of tram line 2 is a well thought-out initiative which aims to optimize the transport experience for rugby fans. TaM teams will be on hand to ensure a smooth transition between the different modes of transport and to answer any questions from travellers.
Importantly, additional security measures will also be put in place to ensure these operations run smoothly, with increased surveillance at key stops.
