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.

It never beats the EUR 1.90 bus chain — EUR 53 for eight against EUR 9.50 on a Tribu or EUR 15.20 as singles — but it beats shuttle singles from five people (EUR 41 against EUR 47.50) and the shuttle's 6-trip ticket from seven (EUR 49 against EUR 49.20; EUR 53 against EUR 58.70 for eight). Its case is five or more with bags, or the hours after 00:35.
EUR 37 is zone 3, covering the whole old town and Matabiau. Compans-Caffarelli and the Palais des congrès sit on the zone 2 boundary and are EUR 26; Blagnac by the airport is zone 1, EUR 15; Rangueil, the Oncopole and the Labège side are zone 4, EUR 47. A zone map should be in every taxi — ask to see it.
The forfait admits supplements: EUR 4 for each passenger from the fifth, EUR 2 per bag beyond three, EUR 3 if you booked. An ordinary taxi seats four; for five or more, ask the rank or the airport's dispatch for a larger car, which can seat up to eight.
Ask for a stop, a detour or a change of destination on the way and the forfait no longer applies; the meter does — EUR 2.50 to start, EUR 1.13 to 3.16 a kilometer by tariff letter, night rates from 19:00 to 08:00 and on Sundays and holidays, EUR 8 minimum.
No authority publishes a taxi journey time. The 20 minutes here is a working figure: the Navette does the same road in a timetabled 15 to 22 minutes to Jean Jaurès for most of the day and up to 34 in the weekday afternoon peak.
These fares are the 2025 order, still listed as current on 8 July 2026. A 2026 order may exist but is not published; check the printed price list required in the car. A printed receipt is compulsory from EUR 25.
