Transportation from City Center to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport
There are transportation options such as Lyon express tram, train, shuttle buses, taxi and car rental to get to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport, which is approximately 5 km from Lyon city center.
It is possible to reach the airport in 30 minutes by using the Express tram line from the city center. It is also possible to buy tram tickets online, apart from the box office.
Those who come to the airport by train from the city center should not forget that the train station is within 5 minutes' walking distance from the airport. If you have a lot of luggage and you cannot walk, taxis can be a life saver at this point. If you want to take a taxi not only between the station and the airport but also all the way, you have to pay 50-55 euros during the day and 65-70 euros at night.
In the city where the night tariff is applied, you can reduce the price a little more by bargaining with the taxi driver.
In addition, shuttle buses serving between 06.00-23.00 are a frequently used option for transportation to the airport.

If you arrive after 10 am, there is no other means of transportation other than taxi until 6 am.
Car is the most used means of transportation in Tahiti. You can get to the city center by renting a car from Papeete Airport, but keep in mind that most cars will be manual transmission.
