==Ground transportation== ===Car=== [[File:Grossraum Basel.png|thumb|Location of the airport relative to Basel and its surroundings]] The airport is connected to motorway [[A3 motorway (Switzerland)|A3]] which leads from Basel to the southeast of Switzerland passing [[Zürich]]. ===Bus=== There are several bus connections to and from the EuroAirport to all three countries around it: *On the Swiss exit Basel's [[Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe|BVB]] bus No. 50<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bvb.ch/en/timetable-network/liniennetz |title=BVB – Line network |publisher=BVB |location=Basel, Switzerland |access-date=5 November 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110528134324/http://www.bvb.ch/en/timetable-network/liniennetz |archive-date=28 May 2011 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> connects the airport to the [[Basel SBB railway station]], which is the main Swiss and French railway station in Basel. During weekdays, there is a service every 7–8 minutes and on weekends, every 10 minutes during daytime. The duration of the trip is about 20 minutes. On the day of a visitor's arrival to Basel, a reservation confirmation from a local hotel guarantees a free transfer by public transport from the station or the EuroAirport to the hotel.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.basel.com/en/Getting-there-exploring-the-City/Exploring-the-City/Mobility-Ticket |title=Mobility Ticket |publisher=Basel Tourismus |location=Basel, Switzerland |access-date=17 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160822100715/https://www.basel.com/en/Getting-there-exploring-the-City/Exploring-the-City/Mobility-Ticket |archive-date=22 August 2016 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> *On the French exit, Saint-Louis' DistriBus bus No. 11 connects the airport to the [[Saint-Louis station|Saint-Louis railway station]] in 10 minutes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.distribus.com/se-deplacer/navette-euroairport |title=Navette EuroAirport |publisher=DistriBus |location=Saint-Louis, France |language=fr |trans-title=EuroAirport shuttle |access-date=2021-04-18}}</ref> *The German private bus company [[Flixbus]] calls at Zürich, Basel and Freiburg Germany up to five times a day. FlixBus however only serves the French exit of the airport. Serving Swiss destinations from the French part of the airport is a questionable legal trick, as people transport by foreign companies inside of Switzerland is illegal without official authorization due to [[cabotage]] regulations, which will not be granted by Swiss authorities on routes already supported by tax-financed public services. It's illegal to travel between Swiss destinations only. Police started to do random checks and to fine failing travelers. Serving Swiss destinations from abroad however is compliant.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blick.ch/incoming/umstrittene-sbb-konkurrenz-bund-will-fernbus-tricksern-an-den-kragen-id5155591.html |title=Umstrittene SBB-Konkurrenz: Bund will Fernbus-Tricksern an den Kragen |newspaper=Blick |location=Zurich, Switzerland |date=16 June 2016 |author=Petar Marjanovic |language=de |access-date=3 July 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.blick.ch/news/schweiz/bundesrat-ueber-flixbus-tricks-verstoesse-kaum-nachzuweisen-id5738552.html |title=Bundesrat über Fernbus-Trickser: Verstösse kaum nachzuweisen! |newspaper=Blick |location=Zurich, Switzerland |date=10 November 2016 |author=SDA/gr |language=de |access-date=3 July 2016}}</ref> ===Rail=== As of 2021, the closest train station is the [[Saint-Louis-la-Chaussée station]], some {{convert|900|m|abbr=on}} north of the terminal. Plans to build a dedicated [[airport rail link]] have existed for some time, however political delays have pushed the earliest operating date to 2035.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.aerotelegraph.com/ab-basel-koennten-taegliche-langstreckenfluege-in-die-usa-angeboten-werden | title="Ab Basel könnten tägliche Langstreckenflüge in die USA angeboten werden" | date=9 October 2024 }}</ref> === Tram === There are two town tramway systems in relatively close proximity to the airport - [[trams in Basel|Basel tramway]] and [[Mulhouse tramway]]. As the former was extended across the border in the 2010s, there are plans to further extend it to serve the airport. Presently,{{when|date=February 2024}} the tramway serves St Louis SNCF Station, where one can change for the shuttle bus to the airport. Plans to extend the Mulhouse tramway to the airport do seem to be further from realization, however.{{cn|date=February 2024}}
