Practical tips
In Toulouse, the boarding point can vary by operator. Read your e-ticket before leaving and find the address on a map so you don't end up at the wrong stop or bus station.
Check the table on this page: if the time difference is small, the bus is often the best value. If speed matters most to you, compare it with the other options shown.
The lowest fares sell out first, especially on weekends and school holidays. Book as soon as your dates are set rather than the day before departure.
This route crosses the French-Spanish border. Keep a valid ID card or passport in your hand luggage, not in the hold, in case of a check.
A bus can run late, especially at rush hour or near the border. If you're connecting to another transport in Barcelona, pick a generous gap and avoid the very last departure.
