A ticket for Zones 1 and 2 costs EUR 2.10, valid an hour and re-validatable for connections within that hour. Tap a contactless bank card, phone or watch on the bus and again on the métro or tram; one card covers up to five people by tapping again within ten seconds, capped at three trips a day. Bought from the driver it costs EUR 2.40 (EUR 2.50 cash by the airport's page); the TCL E-Ticket app is Android-only. Under-4s travel free; 4–10-year-olds need a free pass on a TCL card. A shareable ten-ride carnet is EUR 20.50 (cheaper than singles only from ten people); the EUR 7.30 Pass Tribu covers two to five people, including at least one child aged 4–17.

Worth knowing
Weekdays the C200 leaves the airport at 05:42, 06:12, 06:42, 07:12, 07:42, 08:12, 08:42, 09:12, then hourly to 14:12, half-hourly 14:52–18:52, then 19:32, 20:32, 21:32 and 22:32; the 23:32 reaches La Soie after the last métro, except on Friday nights. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays it runs hourly 05:17–23:17, and the 23:17 still meets a métro.
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.
