Lyon (France)

Lyon, located at the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers in southeastern France, is recognized for its progressive approach to urban mobility and sustainability. The city’s topography, with its hills and rivers, has shaped its transport infrastructure, making the integration of funiculars, tunnels, and innovative transport solutions essential.

Lyon's public transport system, managed by SYTRAL Mobilités, includes four metro lines, seven tram lines, and a network of bus and trolleybus routes, collectively forming the TCL (Transports en Commun Lyonnais) system. The city also promotes sustainable mobility through a robust cycling network, featuring over 1,000 km of bike paths and the Vélo'v bike-sharing scheme, with 5,000 bikes available across 428 stations.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, Lyon has introduced measures such as a city-wide 30 km/h speed limit, reducing road accidents by 35% between 2019 and 2023. The city's 'Voies Lyonnaises' initiative is working towards 250 km of continuous, safe cycling lanes by 2026.
