Summary
Description Bellecour - Lyon Metro - ticket barriers (34921997420).jpg |
At Bellecour subway / underground station. We had walked from Place Guichard and headed through this station. We needed the line that went to the Hôtel de Ville station. Easier to navigate through this station than the first one we tried. We needed line A, which would take us from Bellecour via Cordeliers to Hôtel de Ville Louis Pradel (near the opera house).
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.
