Rhônexpress · Rhônexpress, run for SYTRAL MobilitésRhônexpress tram-train

From

The Rhônexpress platform at the Lyon Saint-Exupéry TGV station, seven minutes on foot from Terminals 1 and 2 across the footbridge with travelators

To

Lyon Part-Dieu, on the rue de la Villette side of the station, in 29 minutes; Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie for Métro A in 21

Runs

05:00–00:00

Journey

29 min

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 Rhônexpress platform at the Lyon Saint-Exupéry TGV station, seven minutes on foot from Terminals 1 and 2 across the footbridge with travelators

Runs

Journey

38–39 min

Get off the Rhônexpress at Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie, 21 minutes from the airport, for the same EUR 16.30 as Part-Dieu, and change to Métro A towards Perrache. Bellecour is 17 minutes on.

The Rhônexpress ticket buys nothing on TCL: pay the EUR 2.10 for the métro on top, from the on-board agent or by tapping a contactless card.

The last Rhônexpress that meets a métro every night is the 23:30. The 00:00 reaches La Soie at 00:21, when the métro has already run its last train on most nights; after Friday and Saturday evenings it runs later.

For Perrache, stay on Métro A two stops past Bellecour on the same ticket.
