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.

The price shown is a floor, not a fare: FlixBus sells by day and hour and the price can be higher.

BlaBlaCar Bus also runs coaches between the airport and Grenoble, according to the airport.

The airport says the coaches run up to once an hour between 06:30 and 23:30, depending on the day and the flights, so a very late landing may find none.
