Cannes Film Festival: Transportation Chaos Leaves Attendees Stranded

Cannes Film Festival Transportation Woes: Festival-goers stranded by early train schedules. Cannes, France - The Cannes Film Festival, while a celebration of cinema, has exposed a significant transportation issue for many attendees. With the festival drawing thousands from around the globe, the limited regional train service operating only until approximately 9 pm, leaves many festival-goers who are staying outside of Cannes without sufficient means of returning to their accommodations after evening screenings and events. "It's really stupid because there are midnight screenings," said one frustrated festival-goer. The lack of late-night options forces many to rely on expensive ride-sharing services. "I've spent way too much on Uber this past week already," another attendee commented. While the PACA region and SNCF Réseau claim to be aware of the situation, the lack of extended service during the festival's peak times has left attendees feeling neglected. The Cannes Film Festival has expressed support for increased train services, yet no concrete action has been taken. The situation underscores the need for better public transport planning during large-scale events.
