No bus, tram or metro.
On Sunday, National Labor Day, there will be no public transport in Lyon, as is traditionally the case every May 1.
The opposition nevertheless calls for a minimum service, believing that regular users “will be seen in a way under house arrest”.
She recalls that Sytral had made an exception in 2020, during the first confinement, in order to allow the caregivers mobilized to go to work.
At the time, six bus lines had circulated, which had made it possible to transport 3,200 people during the day.
Back from holidays
“Sunday will mark the end of the school holidays with a certain number of returns by train of students or vacationers who will be forced to end their journeys by individual means of transport not necessarily decarbonized”, argues Philippe Cochet, mayor LR of Caluire and councilor metropolitan.
And to insist: “The notion of public service requires that it knows no interruption.
This situation astonishes us and surprises us on the part of a majority who constantly recommend the use of public transport and praise the benefits of public service.

However, his request has little chance of succeeding.
As a reminder, the CGT had strongly denounced the exception made in 2020.
