Practical tips
In Nice, the departure point can vary by operator. Open your e-ticket the day before, note the stop's name or address and pin it on your map, so you don't head to the wrong place on the day.
For a short cross-border hop, the bus is often the most economical choice. Look at the page's table before turning to a pricier option, so you don't pay much more for a limited gain.
The lowest fares go first, especially in summer and on weekends. Book as soon as your dates are set to keep a good price and be sure of a seat on board.
If you are doing a day trip, note the time of the last return from San Remo before leaving. Allow some margin for lunch and strolling, so you never miss your evening bus.
You are going from France to Italy: keep your ID card or passport in your hand luggage, not in the hold. Spot checks are possible, and you will be ready without stress.
