A return trip for €5
Sytral Mobilités validated on Thursday November 21 the new prices for the TCL network for the year 2025, including an increase of 10 cents in the unit ticket. We were able to discover that it will be necessary to pay €3 for a river shuttle trip and €5 for the return trip, for users who are not subscribed to the TCL network.
Subscribers will be able to use it without any additional cost since it is integrated into the TCL network. As a reminder, it will take around 35 minutes to get from the Industry district to the Confluence district. The offer will be included in the TCL offer and will be operated by RATP Dev. During peak hours, the shuttles will have a frequency of 30 minutes, and every 60 minutes during off-peak times and on weekends.
The boats will accommodate between 70 and 90 passengers, including 5 places reserved for people with reduced mobility. To date, Sytral, the organizing authority for Lyon public transport (TCL), envisages 560,000 travelers per year.
