Tramway de Lyon - Line T1- side view, Lyon, France

For everyone interested in urban public transportation, Lyon is surely one of the multifaceted and most interesting travel destinations in France. At the confluence of the rivers Rhône and Saône there are more than half a dozen different modes of public transportation: Suburban railways, buses, three rubber-tyred metro-lines of which one is operated fully automatic without any drivers, a rack-railway extended as a conventional adhesion railway and labelled as Metro as well, two funiculars, the biggest trolleybus-network in France – and since 2000 a new tramway system.

Currently, there are five lines labelled T1-T5 and the express tramway "Rhônexpress" to Saint Exupéry airport. The most important function of Line T1 is the connection of a large university campus; it acts also as a link between the two main railway stations, Perrache and Part-Dieu. Line T2 has a quite long interurban stretch at the eastern end, as well as line T3, which was developed out of an ancient railway line. Lines T4 and T5 are mainly feeders to the metro. Finally, the Rhônexpress service uses the route of T3 and an adjacent section to the airport. It serves only four stations, Part-Dieu, La Soie, Meyzieu Z.I. and Aéroport Saint Exupéry. At the common stretch with tramline T3 there are some passing loops. But there are already the next projects: In September 2012, the tram-train de L'Ouest lyonnais started operation in the western parts of the city, it will be extended in the following years.

The Lyon tramway (French: Tramway de Lyon) comprises six lines, five lines operated by TCL and one by Rhônexpress in the city of Lyon in Rhône-Alpes, France. The original tramway network in Lyon was developed in 1879, and the modern network was built in 2001.

Line T1 opened in 2001; T2 opened in 2001; T3 opened at the end of 2006; line T4 opened in 2009; line Rhônexpress (airport connector) opened in 2010; and line T5 opened in 2012. The tramway system complements the Lyon metro and forms an integral part to the public transportation system (TCL) in Lyon. The network of 5 tram lines (T1-T5) operated by TCL runs 53.3 kilometres (33.1 mi);[1] the single line operated by Rhônexpress runs for 22 kilometres (14 mi)[2] (including approximately 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) shared with the T3 tram line). The network is currently served by 73 Alstom Citadis 302 trams.

Line T1 extends from Debourg to IUT Feyssine via Perrache, Part-Dieu Vivier-Merle and Charpennes. Line T2 runs from Perrache to Saint-Priest – Bel-Air via Jean-Macé, Grange-Blanche and Porte des Alpes. Line T3 goes from Part-Dieu - Villette to Meyzieu Z.I. via Vaulx – La Soie. T4 Line connects La Doua at the Clinic Feyzin via Charpennes, Part Dieu Villette, Jet d'Eau and Gare de Vénissieux.
