How to get from Geneva Airport to Metabief, Doubs, France by public transport?
I will be travelling to Métabief, France.
My flight will arrive at Geneva Airport on 16 June (Sunday) around 7.30am.
I would like to know how to get from Geneva Airport to Metabief by public transport.
As mentioned in this post, it seems that there will be no bus from Vallorbe to Métabief on Sunday. So I cannot take train and alight at Vallorbe followed by a bus.
Also, taxi is not an option from Geneva airport to Metabief as it will be a 100 km-journey , which is not cheap.

You say "by public transport", but is renting a car an option? Or long-distance rideshare with Blablacar? If you're only one person with one piece of luggage, Blablacar is likely cheapest, and car rental is likely fastest. How quickly do you need to get there, and are these options? Is it ok to take 2hrs more to save CHF100? You can post your trip on Blablacar in advance, and you will get informed of nearby rides (time, destination, and price).

- Catch a train from Geneva Airport to Lausanne (leaving at xx:02 every hour).
- Change to local train S2 to Vallorbe.
- Take a taxi for the last 12.5 km to Métabief, or arrange for your accommodation to organise transport.
You should pre-book the train trip Geneva Airport-Vallorbe here for the cheapest fare (CHF 24.60)

Google Maps don't find any connection between those points.
https://www.rome2rio.com/ suggests taking trains to Vallorbe and then a taxi from Vallorbe to Métabief.
(Actually rome2rio suggests a taxi from the station just before Vallorbe, but it's probably going to be easier to find a taxi at Vallorbe, which is a larger station).
As noted in the comment thread under your previous question, this taxi ride is not long, but since it does cross a border, you should agree on a price with the driver before getting in.
Alternatively, if you don't want the adventure of negotiating a cross-border taxi ride in Francophone Switzerland, you could take a train all the way to Frasne on the French side, and then the bus from Frasne to Métabief. (You've found the timetable for this bus already).
This will most likely be more expensive because you'll need the TGV from Lausanne to Frasne rather than a local Swiss train, and certainly slower. Note that the TGV requires reservation, but on the other hand you shouldn't need to worry about flight delays because the first connection you can get leaves Genève-Aéroport only at 11:32 anyway. Arriving in Frasne 13:14 you then have an hour and a half to kill before the bus towards Jougne departs at 14:49

You say "by public transport", but is renting a car an option? Or long-distance rideshare with Blablacar? If you're only one person with one piece of luggage, Blablacar is likely cheapest, and car rental is likely fastest. How quickly do you need to get there, and are these options? Is it ok to take 2hrs more to save CHF100? You can post your trip on Blablacar in advance, and you will get informed of nearby rides (time, destination, and price).
