Where each one leaves you

From
The airport bus station (gare routière) at Terminal 1, two minutes on foot from the terminals and the TGV station
To
Gare Part-Dieu Villette, on tram T3: the C200 to Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie in 35 to 41 minutes, then 13 minutes on the tram on the same ticket
Luggage
A city bus, then a tram; no racks, and the bus fills at Genas and Décines on the way in.

05:42–23:17
Journey
48–54 min

The EUR 2.10 way to the same Part-Dieu the Rhônexpress reaches for EUR 16.30, about 25 minutes slower.

Validate again on the tram: the hour runs from the first tap on the bus, and the change at La Soie falls well inside it.

The T3 stops at Gare Part-Dieu Villette, the Rhônexpress's own stop on the rue de la Villette side of the station.
