In this paper, we find some general and efficient sufficient conditions for the exponential convergence $ W_{1,d}(P_t(x,\cdot), P_t(y,\cdot) )\le Ke^{-\delta t}d(x,y) $ for the semigroup $ (P_t) $ of one-dimensional diffusion. Moreover, some sharp estimates of the involved constants $ K\ge 1, \delta>0 $ are provided. Those general results are illustrated by a series of examples.

Keywords: Wasserstein metric, diffusion processes, exponential convergence, Poisson operator.
