Cost to go from gare to CDG?
 
Specifically, Le Direct Bus (17 euro )versus cab or other?

tomboy Sep 11th, 2017 11:21 AM

Specifically, Gare de Lyon.

PalenQ Sep 11th, 2017 11:23 AM

how many going?

if two or more can could be just as cheap.

Gare du Lyon?

RER would not be much cheaper than bus and hassle having to change en route.

if two or more can could be just as cheap.>

meant not much more - always lots of taxis at station front exit.

If you are as concerned about cost as you are about words (not even a verb in your 'posts' and of course no hell nor thanks) then take the RER.

It is Gare de Lyon, not du, as Tomboy said. Lyon is a place.

I like the Air France bus, for one person, it is cost-effective. You can save money if you buy online RT. If that's where you want to go, I would do that rather than RER for sure, as it is a lot more relaxing way to go.

StCirq Sep 11th, 2017 12:09 PM

I like the Air France Bus as well.I think it costs 17 euros.

And yes, it'd Gare DE Lyon, Pal.

PalenQ Sep 11th, 2017 12:59 PM

de du -duh - ususally get it right but sometimes type without thinking. Duh! Gare duh Lyon?

If there are more than 3 or 4 of you, and with luggage, and if you are not familiar with taking mass transportation, I'd take a regular Parisien taxi to Gare de Lyon. 55 EU from start to finish.

PalenQ Sep 12th, 2017 05:07 AM

Can 4 folks plus luggage fit in one taxi?

StCirq Sep 12th, 2017 05:29 AM

Yes, they can, as there are taxi station wagons and vans that can hold up to 7 people plus luggage. You'd probably have to order one specifically, though, if heading OUT of Paris.

RER D + B = 10 euros per person

tomboy Sep 14th, 2017 07:16 AM

Do the cabs take credit card payment?

StCirq Sep 14th, 2017 07:17 AM

They are supposd to, but you should ask to make sure.

Whathello Sep 14th, 2017 08:46 AM

They are obliged to by law.

PalenQ Sep 14th, 2017 09:44 AM

What about Uber? Are they allowed into station pick-up areas?

Sarastro Sep 14th, 2017 10:06 AM

No

PalenQ Sep 14th, 2017 01:00 PM

Thanks! Thought so.

fuzzbucket Sep 14th, 2017 09:21 PM

Ask before you get into the taxi, if you plan to use credit cards.
