GARE ROUTIÈRE

Several local companies take turns to serve Abbeville, Beauvais, Berneuil, Crèvevoeur-le-Grand, Doullens, Mers-les-Bains, Montdidier, Péronne, Roye... Fares are rather random (traveling by bus from Amiens is not always cheaper than taking the train) and schedules are a bit restrictive, but many destinations are served. Keep an eye on it!
