To get around Caen la mer easily, use Twisto!
Since January 2025, RATP Dev has been responsible for operating and maintaining Caen la mer's transport network, in conjunction with the urban community. On the agenda: modernized services, a network as dense as ever, and plenty of new features to make life easier for users. The Twisto network comprises 3 tramway lines and more than 70 bus routes criss-crossing the 48 communes of the urban area. Extended timetables, local or intercity routes, and even a free electric shuttle, all red and very photogenic, which runs in Caen city center. The racks are rechargeable and compatible with NomadCar14 and TER trains: perfect for combined trips!
In terms of services, we've thought of everything to make your day-to-day life easier: a mobile application that lets you calculate your itineraries, follow traffic information in real time, view the arrival of your bus or streetcar thanks to geolocation, buy your tickets with e-Ticket, and even unlock a self-service bike or car.
Twisto Vélolib. The big news for 2025: the self-service bicycle service becomes 100% electric! Called Vélolib, it now offers 400 electrically-assisted bicycles at 60 stations throughout the metropolitan area: Caen, Hérouville, Mondeville, Ifs, Ouistreham, as well as Blainville-sur-Orne, Fleury-sur-Orne, Carpiquet and Colombelles. How does it work? Nothing could be simpler: download the Twisto Vélolib app, create your account in 2 minutes, and scan a QR code to set off on your adventure. Bonus: the first hour is free with the annual subscription (€24). And if you need a bigger bike, the Véloloc service also offers cargo bikes and longtails for transporting children or shopping, with reservations now digitalized on the Twisto website.
Twisto Access. This transport-on-demand service is dedicated to people with reduced mobility. It serves the 48 communes of Caen la mer, offering a door-to-door service, by reservation, for people with mobility difficulties. Whether you need to get to work, to a medical appointment, to the shops or to school, this service makes mobility in the heart of the Urban Community accessible to all.

Park & Ride facilities. Several Park & Ride facilities are available. Park your car and continue your journey by streetcar or bus. To leave the parking lot, simply present your validated transport ticket (Atoumod card or contactless ticket). Less stress, less traffic jams, more peace of mind.
Twisto Auto. The car-sharing service, now operated by Citiz, is also getting a facelift. The network now boasts 20 vehicles at 16 stations in Caen and nearby towns. Simple online registration, reservation via the Citiz app or by telephone, and a new, more attractive price structure: €3 per hour with a €16 monthly subscription (compared with €5.50 without a subscription). A flexible, practical and economical solution for your occasional trips.
Twisto is much more than just a transport network: it's a connected, inclusive and sustainable mobility platform for all the inhabitants of Caen la mer. Download the app, hop on a bike, reserve a car, take a streetcar... and let yourself be carried away!

Des services déplorable, retard a la pelle jamais 1 jours sans en avoir un, des bus qui disparaissent simplement 1 minutes avent leur arivé à l'arrêt, des chauffeur qui ne veulent pas s'arrêter quand on leur fait un signe à l'arrêt, quand on perd un objet et que l'on les appelle que on connaît la ligne, le bus l'heure et où il en est sur le trajet on vous raipond "désolé mais on ne contacte pas les chauffeur", sachant que TOUT les bus et tram sont équipé de radio et on nous dit "rappeler demain pour voir si on a retrouvé l'objet perdue" se qui fait que se qui a était perdu dans un bus ou tram sera simplement volé 90% du temps, bref la seul raison pour la qu'elle cette entreprise est encore la c'est car elle a le monopole sur cean, si vous avez des alternatives prenez les, fuyer cette horreur.
