Megabus.com Managing Director Edward Hodgson said: “The new law brings the prospect of more exciting travel opportunities for millions of people across France. As Europe’s leading low fares and high quality inter-city coach operator, we are well-placed to help the government meet its objectives to grow what is a key sector of the economy.

“Our low fares will help put millions of Euros back into the pockets of consumers through savings on their travel and our investment in France will also support new jobs. This is the first phase of our plans for domestic services within France and we look forward to expanding our operations further in the future to benefit people across the country.”

All services operate using state-of-the-art vehicles and feature free WiFi, power sockets, air-conditioning and a toilet.
