If your child already has lacarte, the Pass is sent remotely directly to their card after registration has been validated.

2. 📬 On a duplicate

If your child has lost their card, they can request a duplicate during registration.
In this case:

  • The Pass will be loaded onto the duplicate

  • The new card will be sent to your home

  • A cost of €10 is added to the subscription price

3. 🆕 On a first card

If your child does not yet have lacarte, it will be automatically created and sent to their home, with the Pass loaded on it.

If the student is in shared residence, a single school registration is sufficient, as the School Pass is valid on all lines of the La Métropole Mobilité network. Your child can therefore use all school or regular lines that serve both parents’ homes.

The School Pass can be issued in 3 ways

  • Sent by teledistribution on the lacarte for schoolchildren who already have a card,
  • Charged on a duplicate if the student has lost their card and requested a duplicate during registration. This duplicate will be sent to their home (subscription price + 10 euros).
  • Uploaded to a card for schoolchildren who do not have one, and the lacarte will be sent to their home.

I already have a transport card, will I receive another one at the start of the school year?

Not all students with a lacarte transport card will receive a new card.
They will receive their School Pass remotely via electronic means.

Students who did not have a transport card or did not have a lacarte will receive a new one.
It is personal and works on regular and school lines as well as urban networks.

Students who have lost their card can order a duplicate at the time of registration, charged 10 euros in addition to the subscription.

Loss, theft, damage to the card, how to obtain a duplicate?

Requests for a duplicate can be made at a Métropole Mobilité store or online on this website, under the school transportation section.
A duplicate can be requested at the same time as registration.
The cost of a duplicate is €10.

My card doesn’t work, what should I do?

Check that lacarte is not silent :

A so-called “mute” or “unusable” card is easily identifiable: when you swipe this card over a validator, it generates no message, neither a green nor a red beep. The card is damaged and unusable.
If your card is mute, you must go to the point of sale with your card and request a duplicate. The mobility advisor will confirm that your card no longer works and will issue you a duplicate:

  • free if it is mute, but not broken, bent or damaged.
  • paying €10 if it is broken, bent or damaged.

Check that your card is topped up:

To find out the contents of your card, there are several options available to you:

  1. Register your card on the online store
  2. Ask the driver to read the contents of your card, which he will print on a ticket. The transport tickets on your card will be listed on the ticket.
  3. Check the contents of your card at ATMs.

If the subscription is present on your Card,

  • check the validity dates (if the subscription has expired, re-register on the site)
  • Check if your card works on other vehicles
  • If your card is not valid on any vehicle, send the ticket and the description of the vehicle used (Network/Line/Stopping point/date and time) via this form

If the subscription is not on your Card even though your registration has been validated, contact Customer Relations via this form

I registered my child this summer and I still haven’t received their card.

  • Check in the follow-up that your file has been accepted.
  • Check that the card’s shipping date is indicated in the Tracking. If the shipping date is not indicated, your card has not yet been manufactured.
  • Check in the “track my file” that your address is entered correctly (number, street, building, floor, apartment number, etc.)
  • If the address is incomplete, contact Customer Service via this form
  • If 15 days have passed since the sending date and you still have not received lacarte, contact Customer Relations via this form.

Make sure in the follow-up that your file is accepted and your teledistribution has been sent for at least 48 hours.

  • If you tried to retrieve your cable TV in a vehicle: Contact Customer Relations using this form.
  • If you went to the store and were unable to collect your cable TV despite the intervention of a mobility advisor at the counter, contact the Customer Relations department using this form

We only guarantee that school registration on La Métropole Mobilité will work properly on a Windows computer with the latest version of Edge or Chrome. In addition, we recommend:

  • Clear your browser history and cache and restart your computer.

Despite the message noted in the paragraph during registration, PDF format is not accepted for the photo. Only JPG format is accepted.

If you get a blank page after requesting your ID photo, start the registration again and use a JPG photo.

PDF format can be used for supporting documents only.

If you made a duplicate school lacarte in store less than 48 hours ago and it is not displayed during registration, you must wait another 24 hours.

The new card should appear on the registration form 72 hours after it is produced.

If the new card is not displayed after 72 hours, contact Customer Relations via this form

Several possibilities:

  1. You recently made a duplicate school card, and it’s not showing up.
    The lost card is showing up. Wait 48 to 72 hours before registering, allowing our systems to process this recent duplicate. If the new card isn’t showing up after 72 hours, contact Customer Relations using this form.
  2. You didn’t make a duplicate.
    You no longer have the card displayed, but you have another one that isn’t displayed and isn’t a duplicate of the card displayed: the student may have another card linked to the Métropole’s old ticketing systems.
    We can’t register it on this card.
  • If another card is displayed, request a duplicate
  • If no card is displayed, we will send you a new card on the new ticketing system.

Payments in 3 installments are only permitted via the website and from an amount of €60 for any registration before September 30 of the current school year.

When paying for registration online by bank card, the family can therefore pay in 3 installments if they wish for a School Pass whose amount is equal to or greater than €60 (per child registered).

  • The first monthly payment is taken on the day of online registration and payment of the subscription.
  • The 2nd monthly payment is taken on the 8th of the following month.
  • The 3rd monthly payment is taken on the 8th of the month and later.

For the School Pass without RTM, the monthly payments are calculated as follows:

  • 50% of the amount for the first monthly payment
  • 25% of the amount for the 2nd monthly payment
  • 25% of the amount for the 3rd monthly payment

For School Passes with RTM, with or without reduction, the monthly payments are calculated as follows:

  • 40% of the amount for the first monthly payment
  • 30% of the amount for the 2nd monthly payment
  • 30% of the amount for the 3rd monthly payment

Example :

– Price €220 Metropolitan School Pass with RTM

  • €88 on the day of registration (e.g. July 5)
  • €66 on the 8th of the following month (e.g. August 8th)
  • €66 on the 8th of the last month (e.g. September 8)

– Price €60 Metropolitan School Pass without RTM

  • €30 on the day of registration (e.g. July 5)
  • €15 on the 8th of the following month (e.g. August 8th)
  • €15 on the 8th of the last month (e.g. September 8)

If the bank card used has been blocked between the first payment and the other two monthly payments, the family must contact the Métropole to report this by logging into La Métropole Mobilité / Section: Contact / Purpose of the request: 3.1 School / Type of request: Registration/application supplement.
The Métropole will contact the family and resend a payment to the new credit card by email.

Choosing this payment option is binding.
In the event of non-payment of a monthly payment, the Métropole reserves the right to cancel the student’s school subscription.
In the event of an unpaid monthly payment, the Métropole will only retry the payment request once.
If this second attempt fails, the Métropole will cancel the student’s school subscription.
The Métropole reserves the right to cancel this online installment payment service at any time in the event of a problem.

Free school transport subscription for refugee schoolchildren from Ukraine

Ukrainian refugee families can register their children aged 3 to 18 (Terminale) for free school transport.
The school hosting the child will contact the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolitan Area school service and will prepare a request for a file including:

  • a photocopy of the child’s legal representative’s passport
  • provisional residence permit for beneficiaries of temporary protection
  • an ID photo of the child

Registration entitles the child to a school transport card valid for the current school year, allowing them to travel between their home or foster home and the school.

This card also allows you to use La Métropole Mobilité transport lines (including weekends and school holiday periods).

NB: The card will need to be renewed at a later date under conditions to be specified later.
The card must be validated each time the child boards the bus, in accordance with school transportation regulations.

Children not in school can benefit from a 7-day Metropolis Pass until they start school and can benefit from a school transport card.

Pic de pollution
Plan d’Urgence Transports

En raison d’un épisode de pollution (particules PM10) sur le département des Bouches-du-Rhône, la vigilance pollution est activée.

La procédure d’alerte de niveau 1 est déclenchée pour le vendredi 17  janvier 2025.

La Métropole Mobilité vous accompagne et propose des solutions de mobilité durable.

Pour cette journée :

Les 30 premières minutes de chaque trajet sur levélo

en libre-service à Marseille sont gratuites
(puis facturées 0,05 €/min au-delà) pendant toute la durée de l’épisode de pollution.

 

Délaissez votre voiture et privilégiez les modes de déplacement doux :
la marche à pied, levélo, levélo+

Demain l’arrivée d’un vent d’ouest et les précipitations feront baisser les niveaux de particules fines. L’alerte ne sera pas reconduite
