This is the replacement for tram T2, closed since 5 June 2023 while its tracks become the Ligne Aéroport, expected to open by the end of 2026. When it opens, the bus 31 leg becomes a six-minute tram to the T1 at the new Blagnac station instead.

Timetabled 38 to 50 minutes to Jean Jaurès against 15 to 34 on the Navette, for EUR 1.90 against EUR 9.50. Six or more should buy one Ticket tribu, EUR 9.50 for the whole party: eight pay EUR 9.50 here, EUR 58.70 on the shuttle with its 6-trip ticket, and EUR 53 in a taxi.

One ticket, validated three times, within an hour of first validation: bus 31 (10 minutes), T1 from Guyenne-Berry to Arènes (18 to 21), metro A (5 to 7 to Jean Jaurès). The hour is comfortable; the 1h30 the Navette ticket gets is not available on this route.

The last useful bus is earlier than the last bus: 31s run to midnight every day, but the T1 from Guyenne-Berry stops at 23:41 Monday to Wednesday and 23:51 on Sunday, so the 23:25 (Mon–Wed) and 23:15 (Sun) departures are the last to get you into the center. Thursday to Saturday, the midnight bus still connects.

Buy before boarding or tap a bank card: the driver of bus 31 sells only the EUR 2.50 "dernière minute" single. The Ticket tribu is sold at machines and agencies only — at the airport, the Tisséo agency by door C2 (Monday to Friday 07:30–14:00, Sunday 13:00–19:30) — so a group arriving outside those hours pays singles on the bus 31 leg. The airport's pages print differing figures for the same ticket; expect EUR 1.90.

For metro B destinations (Compans-Caffarelli, Jeanne d'Arc, Carmes) stay on the T1 to Palais de Justice, 28 to 31 minutes from Guyenne-Berry, and change there.
