Bus C200 and tram T3 to Part-DieuorBus 248 to Meyzieu ZI, then tram T3?

C200→T3 · TCL, the SYTRAL Mobilités networkBus C200 and tram T3 to Part-Dieu

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.

Runs

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.

From

The airport bus station (gare routière) at Terminal 1, two minutes on foot from the terminals and the TGV station

This is the thinner of the two cheap routes: every 30 to 45 minutes on weekdays, hourly at weekends from mid-morning, and finished by 22:16 from the airport on weekdays and 21:41 at weekends.

The bus wanders through Pusignan for 25 to 28 minutes before Meyzieu ZI; the T3 then takes 29 minutes to Part-Dieu, every 5 to 9 minutes at peak and every 15 in the evening. Allow an hour and a quarter door to door.

It only reaches Part-Dieu. For Bellecour or Perrache take the C200 to La Soie and Métro A instead; the T3 passes La Soie too, but the C200 gets there sooner.

Bus 47 was renumbered 248 on 31 August 2026; the stop names are unchanged and the airport's own page already calls it the 248. Old maps and two of the airport's pages still say 47.

Validate twice: on the bus and on the tram, inside an hour of the first tap. With the bus at 28 minutes and a tram every few minutes, it is comfortable.
