I don't know how it is in Brive so I can't compare, but we do have a pretty good bus network : inside the city, all stops are served every 10-15 minutes, and in the suburbs, stops are served once or twice an hour.

or is it a bit of planning?

Sometimes I do have to plan for longer-than-usual layovers or walking, e.g. 20 minutes, and sometimes the the bus just doesn't go far enough and I have to ask them to pick me up at the nearest stop which is usually a 5 min drive away.

According to your mail

I meant map, but autocorrect...

Thanks for the answer! I'm from the Netherlands, so I was interested to compare the bus system, in France I've never used it, because of the car being so much more convenient.

Might be with it too try it out, I once went by train to Aurillac, just to travel differently.
