Buy on your phone before you board, not at the machine and not on board: EUR 16.30 against EUR 17.40 and EUR 21.40. The site itself says the purchase "doit être absolument réalisé avant la montée dans la rame", and warns that some machines are out of order.

It is EUR 16.30 whichever station you get off at. From the airport you may alight at Meyzieu ZI, La Soie or Part-Dieu for the same fare; toward the airport you may board at any of the three.

The ticket buys nothing on TCL. Métro, tram and bus onward need a separate EUR 2.10 ticket, which the agent on board sells.

For Bellecour, Vieux Lyon or Perrache, get off at Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie after 21 minutes and take Métro A; Rhônexpress's own advice, and under 45 minutes in its words.

Under-12s are free with an adult, and the agent may ask for proof of age. From the twelfth birthday it is EUR 10.70.

The same authority runs a EUR 2.10 way in on the same rails; see the C200 and 248 routes below. This one is worth its price when the half hour matters.

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.

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.
