Public Tranpsort Information - How to get to and from the Summer School
During the 3L Summer School, your “hub” between
the Airport, the Part-Dieu Train Station
(the main train station in Lyon for long distance trains), the André Alix Residence and the ISH/Summer School will be the Perrache Train Station. Here you will
find a list of the different itineraries you will need to follow to move
between the places using public transport.
Tickets for the Tram, Metro, Bus and Cristalis
(a type of fast electric bus) can be bought at ticket machines found at all
Tram and Metro stations/stops. Please note that these machines only take (Euro) coins
and French Credit/Debit cards. Individual tickets can also be bought directly
from bus drivers (cash only).
A single ticket can be used to transfer between
2 modes of transport (bus-tramway or tramway-metro for example) but MUST be
validated each time you board the bus or tram or enter a metro station from
outside.
An individual ticket costs 1.60 €
A block of 10 tickets costs 12.80 €
