TheLyon Metro (French:Métro de Lyon,[metʁod(ə)ljɔ̃]) is arapid transit system servingLyon Metropolis,France. First opened in 1974, it currently consists of four lines, serving 42 stations and comprising 34.4 kilometres (21.4 mi) of route.[1][4] Part of theTransports en Commun Lyonnais (TCL) system of public transport, it is supported bytwo funiculars and atramway network.

Unlike other French metro systems, but likeRER and otherSNCF services, Lyon Metro trains run on the left. This is the result of an unrealised project to run the metro into the suburbs on existing railway lines. Theloading gauge for all lines is 2.90 m (9 ft 6.2 in),[5] more generous than the average for metros in Europe. The Lyon Metro hasrubber-wheel cars.

In 2025, the daily average ridership on the metro was 810,000.[6]

Routes

[edit]

The Lyon Metro consists of four lines, A, B, C and D, each identified on maps by its own colour:

LineOpened[7]Length[4]Stations[7]TerminiRolling stock
Lyon Metro Line A19789.2 km (5.7 mi)14MPL 75
Lyon Metro Line B197810.1 km (6.3 mi)12MPL 16
Lyon Metro Line C19742.5 km (1.6 mi)5MCL 80
Lyon Metro Line D199112.6 km (7.8 mi)15MPL 85

Lines A and B

[edit]
Main articles:Lyon Metro Line A andLyon Metro Line B

Line A fromPerrache toLaurent Bonnevay–Astroballe andLine B fromCharpennes toPart-Dieu were constructed by cut-and-cover and went into service on 2 May 1978, as the inaugural lines of the Lyon Metro. Trains on both lines run on rubber tyres rather than steel wheels.

Line B was extended toJean Macé on 9 September 1981, toStade de Gerland on 4 September 2000[7] as well as later toGare d'Oullins on 11 December 2013.[8]

An extension toVaulx-en-Velin–La Soie on Line A opened in October 2007.[7]

Since 2022, Line B is automated with newMPL 16 rolling stock ordered toAlstom in 2016.[9] TheMPL 75 trains previously used on Line B are meant to join the other MPL 75s on Line A to increase capacity.

An extension to Line B saw two stations,Oullins Centre andSaint-Genis-Laval–Hôpital Lyon Sud open on 20 October 2023.[10]

Line C

[edit]
Main article:Lyon Metro Line C

TheCroix-Rousse-Croix-Paquetrack railway, which was refurbished in 1974,[7] was integrated into the Metro in 1978 asLine C, with an extension toHôtel de Ville–Louis Pradel[7] (thus running fromHôtel de Ville–Louis Pradel toCroix-Rousse). It was extended toCuire on 8 December 1984.[7]

The line was constructed using various methods; the incline rising through a deep tunnel, the portion on the flat atCroix-Rousse using cut-and-cover while the section beyondHénon runs on the surface. TheCroix Paquet station claims to be the steepest metro station in Europe, with an incline of 17%.

Line C uses overhead wires and steel wheels while Lines A, B and D use athird rail and rubber tyres. UntilParis Métro Line 15 opens it is the only metro line in France to use overhead lines and the only steel wheeled metro line in France outside Paris.

Line D

[edit]
Main article:Lyon Metro Line D

Line D, the first fully automatic metro line in France, started with operators on board trains on 4 September 1991, betweenGorge de Loup andGrange Blanche. The line was extended toGare de Vénissieux on 11 December 1992,[7] when it switched to driverless operation. On 28 April 1997, it was extended again toGare de Vaise.[7]

Using rubber tyres like lines A and B, trains on line D are controlled by a system known as MAGGALY (Métro Automatique à Grand Gabarit de l’Agglomération Lyonnaise). Unusually for a driverless metro, noplatform screen doors are installed on station platforms. The trains use infrared sensors to detect obstructions on the track. Other systems using a similar technology include theNuremberg U-Bahn (U2 &U3) andBudapest Metro's Line 4.

The deepest line in Lyon, Line D was constructed partly usingboring machines and passes under both rivers, theRhône andSaône. At 12.5 kilometres (7.8 mi) long with 15 stations,[7] it is also the longest line in Lyon.

In 2016, new MPL 16 rolling stock was ordered fromAlstom for Line B and Line D; it came into service on Line B in 2022. These trains allow for an increase in capacity on Line D. Further, they will be coupled to form four-car units at rush hours and should replace theMPL 75 of Line B which would then solely run on Line A.

Operation

[edit]
Automatic trains on theLyon Metro Line B

The Metro, like the rest of the local public transport system, is operated byKeolis Lyon (ex-SLTC - theSociété lyonnaise de transports en commun (Lyon public transport company)), under the TCL brand -Transports en commun lyonnais (Lyon public transport). It is operated on behalf of SYTRAL Mobilités - theSyndicat mixte des transports pour le Rhône et l'agglomération lyonnaise (Rhône department and Lyon metropolitan transport syndicate), aSyndicat Mixte. On 1 January 2025RATP Dev will take over operation of the metro.[11]

Future expansion

[edit]

A new line, dubbed Line E, was under consideration to link Lyon's western suburbs to the city centre. Twelve variants were initially proposed; two options, running from eitherBellecour orHôtel de Ville toAlaï, were selected for further study and could potentially have been opened around 2030.[12] In 2022, however, the plans for Line E and other metro extensions have been cancelled in favor of plans for new expresstramways, partly underground.
