Thanks to the unified fare system, you can choose to use any means, using the same TCL tickets. Lyon transport tickets are valid for all metros, buses, and trams, with the exception of the Rhonexpres and the Funiculars.
The TICKET À L’UNITÉ is ideal for those who want to move around Lyon occasionally. It is a ticket valid for a journey lasting one hour, from the moment of validation. It costs 1.90€ in the single version, and 19.50€ in the Carnet version of 10. You can buy it on board the bus, at the price of €2.50 per person. For longer journeys, you can buy the TICKET 2 HEURES, at a cost of €3.60, which allows you to make a trip for a duration of 2 hours from the validation.
The day tickets, on the other hand, are an excellent solution for those wishing to move around Lyon, by public transport, in complete tranquility. They are available in denominations of 24, 48 and 72 hours, at the price, respectively, of €6.70, €12.90 and €17.50 per person. By purchasing the day ticket, you can make unlimited travel on all vehicles, for the chosen duration. Please note that the validity time is effective and begins at the time of validation with the first use. This means that if you buy a 24 hour ticket, making your first trip at 6pm, the ticket will be valid until 5:59 pm the next day!
The FUNICULAIRE TICKET is a ticket valid only for funiculars. It allows you to make a return trip on the same day. It costs €3.60 per person.
