Bus C200 and Métro A to BellecourorBus 248 to Meyzieu ZI, then tram T3?

C200→A · TCL, the SYTRAL Mobilités networkBus C200 and Métro A to Bellecour

From

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

To

Bellecour, on Métro A: the C200 to Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie in 35 to 41 minutes, then 17 minutes on the métro on the same ticket

Luggage

A city bus, then a métro; no racks, and the bus fills at Genas and Décines on the way in.

Journey

52–59 min

This is the EUR 2.10 way to the Presqu'île, against EUR 16.30 for the Rhônexpress to Part-Dieu. TCL's own FAQ lists the C200 as the way to the airport "avec la tarification TCL".

Hourly for most of the day and all weekend, half-hourly at weekday peaks. If you have just missed one, the Rhônexpress runs every 15 minutes from the station next door.

One ticket covers the change, but validate again on the métro: the hour runs from the first validation and the connection must fall inside it. At 35 to 41 minutes on the bus, it does.

Pay by tapping a bank card on the red validator; TCL says the tap works on most lines in zones 1 and 2 and not at all in zones 3 to 5. Cash to the driver is dearer — EUR 2.40 by TCL's tariff, EUR 2.50 by the airport's page — and the app is Android-only.

Métro A's last train from La Soie is at 00:01, so from Monday to Thursday the 22:32 is the last bus that meets it. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights the last bus still connects.

For Part-Dieu, change at La Soie to tram T3 instead, 13 minutes on the same ticket. For Perrache, stay on Métro A two more stops.

248→T3 · TCL, the SYTRAL Mobilités networkBus 248 to Meyzieu ZI, then tram T3

From

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

To

Meyzieu ZI in 25 to 28 minutes, by way of Pusignan; the T3 leaves from there for Gare Part-Dieu Villette, 29 minutes, on the Rhônexpress's own tracks

Luggage

A suburban bus and a tram; bags travel with you and there are no racks.

Runs

06:10–22:16

Journey

55–80 min

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.
