Summary
| Description |
Shortly after arriving at Hôtel de Ville Louis Pradel on the Lyon Metro. The station is near the Place Louis Pradel and the Hôtel de Ville de Lyon (Lyon City Hall). We were heading to the Museum of Fine Arts in Lyon (Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon), which wasn't too far away in Place Des Terreaux (if we could find it). The Lyon Metro (French: Métro de Lyon) is the metro system of Lyon, France. It first opened in 1978 (although the metro's current Line C opened, independently, earlier, in 1974). The Lyon Metro currently consists of four lines, serving 40 stations (44 when counting transfer stations twice), and comprising 32.0 kilometres (19.9 mi) of route. It is part of the Transports en Commun Lyonnais (TCL) system of public transport, and is supported by Lyon's network of tramways. Unlike all other French metro systems, but like the SNCF and RER, 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. The loading gauge for lines A, B, and D is 2.90 m (9 ft 6.2 in), more generous than the average for metros in Europe. The loading gauge for line C is 2.78 m (9 ft 1.4 in). The Lyon Metro owes its inspiration to the Montreal Metro which was built a few years prior, and has similar (wider) rubber-wheel cars and station design. The metro had 740,000 daily weekday boardings in 2011. Hôtel de Ville Louis Pradel is on Lyon Metro line A. Line C also starts from here towards Cuire. Sign on Rue de la République near an entrance to the subway station. |
