The journey I’m trying to book in France shows one hour of “public transportation” between the two trains. Does the Global Pass work for this? And how do I find the “public transportation… “ we need? 

We’re super new to this and need all the help we can get! Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

These are indeed 2 separate railway stations. There is a bus/tram connection between the 2. On 18/10 this year, tram line 1 will finally be extended to Sud de France, so there's a direct tram connection.

Hi there!

The public transportation is indicated between Montpellier sur du France and Montpellier Saint-Roch. I am assuming these are the train stations!

What's your route? If you have a tight connection between these two stations, you might be able to plan a route which doesn't involve this switch between stations (either by taking different trains or by switching in Valence or Lyon). Best to use for example the bahn.de planner for this.
