The Lyon Metro (French: Métro de Lyon, [metʁo d(ə) ljɔ̃]) is a rapid transit system serving Lyon 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][3] Part of the Transports en Commun Lyonnais (TCL) system of public transport, it is supported by two funiculars and a tramway network.

Unlike other French metro systems, but like RER and other SNCF 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. The loading gauge for all lines is 2.90 m (9 ft 6.2 in),[4] more generous than the average for metros in Europe. The Lyon Metro has rubber-wheel cars. In 2018, the average daily weekday ridership was 755,000.[5]
