We are booking a rail connection in Nice that seems to have two different stations. There is Nice Ville and Nice Riqier. We have about 1 1/2 hour to get between them, and were wondering which was the best way to get there. Thanks!

Nice Ville is the main station in the heart of the city. Nice Riquier is an outlying station. You should be able to make your connection at Nice Ville without having to go to Nice Riquier. What is your route?

You can either take the train or the bus. If you choose the bus, you need to take Bus line 30 and it takes about 1/2 an hour from nice ville to nice riquier. Here is the bus schedule: http://www.lignedazur.com/ftp/lignes/ligne%2030%20(au%2013%2007%2009).pdf
Be aware the name of the main station in Nice is called both "nice ville" and "nice thiers", thiers being the name of the avenue where the station is located. Likewise, Nice-Riquier is also referred to by "gare nice est" (it being located on the eastern side of the city). Bus ticket is 1 euro.
You can also take a TER train from Nice Ville to Nice Riquier, it's much faster (a matter of a few minutes, 5 to 10 minutes) Train ticket is 1.20 euro
