A fast, regular connection
Thanks to an independent rail infrastructure, Rhônexpress guarantees a stable journey time, protected from the vagaries of Lyon's traffic. The line links Lyon Part-Dieu station to the airport in less than 30 minutes. The service ensures continuity of transport 365 days a year, from 04:25 to midnight, with a frequency of passage every 15 minutes for most of the day.
A premium service for passenger comfort
The service stands out for its special attention to the travel experience. Each journey is supervised by a on-board agent dedicated to welcoming, informing and assisting passengers. The air-conditioned trains are equipped with modern services such as free Wi-Fi, electrical sockets and generous luggage space, enabling passengers to work or relax in complete peace of mind.
A strategic network of stations
Rhônexpress serves four key stations that facilitate intermodality with the whole of the metropolis. In addition to the airport terminals and TGV station, the service stops at Meyzieu Z.I. and Vaulx-en-Velin La Soie. The latter station is a major gateway to Lyon's historic center (Place Bellecour) via a direct connection with the Métro A.
Modular, low-cost fares
The Rhônexpress fare range is structured to meet the specific needs of each passenger. The service offers tickets adapted to occasional journeys, round-trip formulas, as well as preferential conditions for young people and families. Anticipation is enhanced by exclusive fares for online advance bookings. Lastly, dedicated solutions are provided for regular passengers and airport staff, guaranteeing a flexible offer accessible to all.
A commitment to sustainable mobility
Finally, Rhônexpress is committed to a strong environmental approach. As an electric mode of transport, it emits 29 times less CO2 than a private car for an equivalent journey, thus asserting itself as the benchmark solution for responsible and efficient urban mobility.
