I went by taxi, but there is a bus. Taxi is more expensive.

Thank you any information on the bus?

There was a bus when we were there in 2008 or 2009, but no there is a tram. This is said on Wikipedia: "The Rhônexpress tramway began operations in August 2010 and links the TGV rail station of Lyon Part-Dieu with the Gare de Lyon Saint-Exupéry in less than 30 minutes, albeit at a price many travellers find extortionate (€15 single in 2013). This new tramway has largely replaced the coach shuttle services (Satobus) that operated beforehand. More recently, Elit Voyages have recommenced a coach shuttle service to Place Bellecour, with more reasonable fares compared to the Rhônexpress." You find Elit Voyages here: http://www.elit-voyages.fr/ They say 10€. Bjorg

Rhone Express goes direct from Lyon Airport to Lyon Gare Part Dieu looks to be the best way. 14.50 euro. The transit page does not recommend any bus links.

The only practical way that I can find is Rhone Express TRAM to Lyon Gare Part Dieu then SNCF train from Lyon Gare Part Dieu or Lyon Gare Perrache to Le Puy (TER 10). If you try to go by TGV train from St Expury Airport it will take hours as you go via Paris.

The airport site makes reference to bus services to the surrounding area but I cannot find anything (due to confusion in the material presentation) that indicates there is any other way than TRAM to get to Lyon Gare Part Dieu.
