Nice: Ligne d'Azur facing financial difficulties and reform projects
On October 29, 2026, the Nice Côte d'Azur Metropolis announced it wanted to extend free buses and trams to retirees and hospital staff, a measure subject to a vote on November 6. On October 31, a confidential note from the Ligne d'Azur public operator revealed a debt of 226 million euros and an explosion of costs, with a possible 10% fare increase and bus cuts. On November 2, a strategic note proposed leaving public operator status by creating a local public company and resuming direct control of certain outsourced lines. The same day, an internal audit was revealed following suspicions of embezzlement of funds and controversies over salaries.
