We are in Villefranche-sur-mer right now and need to know the best/easiest way to connect the train and bus stations in Nice (other than a taxi)? Thanks so much for responding.

Lisa, I went on google maps and it looks like you can catch bus 99 right outside which will go to the bus station at the airport. I've never done that though that's just what I would do if I needed to.

You can travel between Villefranche-sur-mer and Nice either by train or by bus (numbers 81 or 100), depending on which works best for your destination in the city or your next connection.
Nice also has a city tram that runs between the train stations and the waterfront.
This info is excerpted from Rick's Provence guidebook:
Eastbound Buses: Due to work on the new tram system, buses to Villefranche-sur-Mer and Monaco may stop only on the port in 2016 (closest tram stop to the port is Garibaldi). Ask at the TI if a closer bus stop is available. Buses to Eze-le-Village and La Turbie leave from the Vauban tram stop. Use the tram to reach any of these eastbound buses (free transfer to all of these destinations, except Monaco).
Westbound Buses: To St-Paul-de-Vence, Vence, Cannes, and Antibes, use the Albert I/Verdun stop on Avenue de Verdun, a 10-minute walk along the parkway west of Place Masséna.
