The BusWay is a bus rapid transit line operating in the city of Nantes, France. The service was inaugurated on 6 November 2006. The line runs from Place Foch to Porte de Vertou, and interconnects with line one of the Tramway de Nantes.
The system is operated by Semitan.
The transport network in Nantes uses paper tickets and passes. There are no "travel zones", as a ticket or pass gives access everywhere on the network in greater Nantes. The basic tickets and passes can be used on most forms of public transport in the Nantes Métropole area, including the BusWay, trams, local buses, water buses, and suburban trains. The Navette Tan Air airport express bus has its own (more expensive) tickets, but these are also accepted on the BusWay and other modes.
Tickets are not sold on BusWay buses, but ticket machines can be found at every BusWay stop, and tickets must be purchased before boarding the bus. There are also a few staffed ticket offices in the centre of Nantes, opening for limited periods only.
