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.

Runs

05:42–22:32

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.

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.
