Local transport is operated by Tisséo. Buses 70 and 71 run to *Jeanne d'Arc* (connection with [Line B](/source/Toulouse_Metro#Metro:_Line_B) of the [Toulouse Metro](/source/Toulouse_Metro)) and bus 66 runs to *St Cyprien République* (connection with [Line A](/source/Toulouse_Metro#Metro:_Line_A)), both in the city centre.

A shuttlebus (*navette*) connects the Airport to the city centre.[14] A new [tramway](/source/Tram) now operates southwards to the Toulouse *Arènes* station where it connects with Line A of the Metro.

## Car attack

On 10 November 2017 a man drove into three students, aged between 22 and 23, outside their college. One was in a serious condition. It was thought the driver was suffering from major psychological problems. A public prosecutor at the time said there was no evidence the attack was linked to terrorism.[15]
