Worth knowing
From the airport bus stop toward La Soie: weekdays 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, 22:32 and 23:32. Saturdays, Sundays and holidays run hourly 05:17–23:17. Only one bus in three on weekdays (one in two at weekends) continues past Genas to the airport — check you're on the right one. This is the timetable to 30 August 2026; check the TCL app for current times.
Hourly for most of the day and all weekend, half-hourly at weekday peaks; the last bus from the airport is 23:32 on weekdays and 23:17 at weekends. 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 or tram: 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.
For Part-Dieu change to tram T3 at La Soie (13 minutes); for Bellecour, Vieux Lyon or Perrache take Métro A, which ends at Perrache. Métro A's last train from La Soie is 00:01 on its 2025–26 sheet, 01:40 on Fridays and Saturdays.
These hours are the 2025–26 timetable's. The C200 dates from 1 September 2025 and TCL renumbered its buses on 31 August 2026; check the TCL app before relying on the last departure.
