Grenoble to Lyon Bus: Services on board

Some buses may have Wi-Fi on board, but it is probably best to come prepared, since there is no guarantee of Wi-Fi. The same is true about charging outlets, so you should bring a battery pack or additional batteries if you think you'll need a recharge. You can travel with your pet, but unless it's an official service animal, you'll have to buy a ticket for it, which is usually half the price of the second-class fare. Dogs must be muzzled, and smaller pets have to be kept in an animal carrier. Standard carry-on luggage is allowed on board, and larger items will be stowed in the baggage compartment. Bicycles are permitted on coaches but are subject to space availability. If you're traveling with your bike, you should arrive early to have a better chance of getting it on board. SNCF Autocar offers services for people with disabilities, but you should contact the company in advance for any special assistance you'll be needing.
