The EAIE advises using the public transport system as much as possible and asks for your support in limiting the use of taxis. There is a tram going from Toulouse city centre (tram stop Palais de Justice T1) directly to MEETT (final destination). The journey will take around 45 minutes.
In addition to the existing public transport system, shuttle buses will be deployed to reinforce the capacity. The shuttle buses will leave from Gare Routière de Toulouse, which is a short walk from Toulouse Matabiau train station, and Marengo Metro station (line A, red). From Gare Routière de Toulouse the shuttle buses will go directly to MEETT conference centre without any stops. Depending on traffic, the journey will take between 25 and 45 minutes.
