Kartatoo

Kartatoo is a public transport pass system introduced during the first term of 2007. The Kartatoo card was introduced^[1] using an optional subscription system to Urban networks at a reduced price. This system is offered to TER commuters (Via pro for labourers) and allows users to purchase a monthly ticket on the Montpellier Agglomération and Nîmes Métropole networks. The scheme should be open to students (Via études) from September 2007 and to all from the end of 2008.^[1]

These new measures also come with the creation of 3 new fare zones between Montpellier and Nîmes. West to East, the three zones are centred on Montpellier (from the station Villeneuve-les-Maguelone to that of Saint-Brès-Mudaison), Lunel (Valergues-Lunel-Vieil to Uchaud) and Nîmes (Milhaud to Manduel-Redessan).^[1]

The affected area will be extended towards the West to Agde, Béziers and Narbonne during 2008 with all inhabitants of Languedoc-Roussillon concerned from 2009.^[1]
