Lyon’s network over time


Lyon urban transportation network now

•First-ranking regional french network in termsof availability and multimodal use (five modes) :

- underground : 4 lines, 178 carriages, 29,4 km and 42 stations.

- cablecar : 2 lines, 6 carriages and 1,2 km.

- light rails : 2 lines, 47 trains, 24,3 km and 52 stations.

- bus et minibus : 116 lines, 897 buses and 1150 km.

- trolleybus : 7 lines, 102 buses and 35 km.

- school transport services :106 lines, 112 buses and 1060 km.


Underground and light rail map

A strong network linkingthe different modes of publictransport and the roadnetwork with the park andride on the outskirts of thetown.

70 % of the traffic iselectricity powered.


Lyon mobility master plan adopted 1997,revised 2005

• 11 Rapid Transit Routes were plannedand numbered A1 to A11 :

- High frequency : 5’ to 10’ interval.

- Guaranteed travel time.

- Commercial speed of 20 km/h.

- On-board comfort : air-con, real-timeinformation, comfortable chairs, low-floor,smooth run.

- Stops comfort : benches, rain protection,quay level with vehicle ticket deliverymachines, vidéo surveillance for safety,sound messages, real-time information(EWT, trafic).

- Electrical traction

Rapid Transit Routes (RTR) modal choice in Lyons

- A3 and A5 are under construction as trolleybus rapidtransit C1, C2 and C3.

- A9 enters operations in december as light rail line T3.

- A10 is being designed as an extension of the Bundeground line.

• Modal choices for RTR in practice have been varied :

- A6 and A11 became tramway lines T1 and T2.

- A4 is going to be built as tramway line T4.


Modal Choice parameters

• Corridor Activity type and economicaccessibility

• Available street and public space

• Line aims : commercial speed, % corridor served,average trip length

• Corridor : density, length

• Construction costs, money availability

• Existing network in contact with corridor

• Urban regeneration projects

• Accessibility – impaired mobility

Light rail network : city regeneration and imageimprovements


Accessibility


Light rail vehicle : passenger comfort


- 1000 buses fitted,

- 560 stations and stops fitted with information screensfor passengers,

- Waiting time updated every 30 seconds.

Bus realtime information system : VISULYS

Stakes and objectives of Visulys :


A few guidelines Lyon tries to keep in mind

A new line must be considered as part of a network :- Some routes serve long distance trips with high commercialspeed but do not serve entire corridor.- Other routes serve short trips at low speed and serve wholecorridor.- Network strength depends on integration of different types.

Passenger service qualities are prime :- Modal choice is not a prerequisite, but quality objectives arecommercial speed, regularity, punctuality, passenger comfort,safety.

Environmental and urban objectives playan important role :- Available street space- Urban regeneration programs in corridor- Local and global pollution objectives.
