LYS to city center after midnight?
I'm due to arrive early this Saturday at 0:10 at LYS. Other than a taxi or uber, are there any other options?
I see that the last rhônexpress leaves at 0:00...
Carryon only.

Actually the last tram is supposed to leave after the last flight arrives, even if it is delayed. So if you walk straight to the tram you should be ok. Otherwise it is a very expensive taxi ride as they charge extra for late night trips.

All I remember is that the government promised when the tram went in and replaced the bus that they would transport all passengers no matter how late their commercial flight arrived.

Update: So I managed to catch the last "train" which was a set of two taxis, at 0:30. Good thing I caught it, because the meter was up to 76€ when we got to Part Dieu. Given that there were 6 in the cab, rhonexpress didn't lose money on us.
