How to get from Gare de Lyon to Gare Montparnasse?
What solutions are available to you if you want to be 100% sure of not missing a train when connecting between two stations in Paris? What's more when they are far from each other. This is the case for a connection between Gare de Lyon and Gare Montparnasse, with a distance of 5.6 km for the shortest journey.
You then face a dilemma if your train ticket indicates too short a time frame. You can take the risk of using public transport, taking a taxi / VTC but these are means of transport more prone to disruptions or traffic jams.
On its site, the SNCF offers users two different routes from Gare de Lyon to Gare Montparnasse. The first via the metro lines, with a change, and the second via the bus. In both cases, disruptions on the lines are frequent and you are not always guaranteed to have your train. It takes a minimum of 25 minutes to complete the journey according to the SNCF. By VTC / classic taxi, the journey can last up to 40 minutes during rush hours.
For what travel time by motorcycle taxi?
