Tunis transport company launches special bus services to three beaches

The Société des Transports de Tunis (Transtu) has announced the introduction of four new special bus routes designed to provide service to three popular beaches within the Greater Tunis region: La Goulette, Sidi Bou Said, and Kalaat Andalous. This initiative is part of Transtu's 2026 summer programming.

These special bus services will be available every Sunday and on public holidays, commencing July 12, 2026. Each day of operation will feature two trips: one departing in the morning at 8:00 AM and a return trip scheduled for around 5:00 PM. The goal is to make travel to these coastal destinations more convenient and accessible for citizens during the summer months.

The routes include two dedicated services to La Goulette beach. The first originates from the Kabaria area, passing through specific stations and utilizing the Tunis-Hammamet highway and the Rades bridge interchange. The second route starts from Khélidia, covering several towns and stations before also reaching the Rades bridge. Both La Goulette routes have a fixed fare of 1,500 millimes.

Additionally, a service to Sidi Bou Said beach will depart from the Ibn Sina region, stopping at various points before reaching the beach via the Tunis-Hammamet highway and Rades bridge. The fare for this route is also 1,500 millimes. For Kalaat Al Andalous beach, a separate route will depart from Chawat, traveling via national road No. 7 and passing through Bejaoua and Sidi Thabet, with a slightly higher fare of 2,000 millimes.
