Intermodality

We have a multimodal route planner to help you find your fastest route during or after your Rhônexpress trip.

Rhônexpress is at the heart of all Lyon transport connections

To connect Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport to downtown Lyon, the Rhônexpress stops are mostly located in stations that facilitate the use of other modes of transport (train station, metro, bus). This is in order to make the journey as simple as possible for our passengers

A tramway route to facilitate bus, metro and train connections

The Rhônexpress route was designed as such to facilitate the mobility of all travellers in the Lyon region: from lovers of soft modes of transport to residents in the outskirts of Lyon who have to reach an area far from the city centre. Everyone can easily reach the Rhônexpress stops by metro, tram, TGV, TER, bus, car or even bicycle! Coming from the surrounding region or the city of Lyon, the challenge is to facilitate airport and normal travel by limiting loading and unloading and access difficulties. A search for practicality, economic concerns, and even civic commitment, this mode of transport is designed to meet travellers’ every need!

Two stops on the Rhônexpress route with multiple connections

Of the four stops on the express link between Lyon and its airport, two fulfil the role of a hub for all modes of transport: Part-Dieu and Vaulx-en-Velin la Soie. The objective: to allow easy and fast connections with Rhônexpress to access all the emblematic places in Lyon. Each mode of transport has its own area of practicality and links with others. Thanks to the breadth of their links to the various transport solutions in and around the Lyon area, these stops offer a wide range of connections in many directions.
