REPORTAGE
Four days after the deconfinement, the Lyonnais are not very calm about the idea of resuming transport. So a rush at metro stations and bus stops is unlikely. However, the offer will be substantial. On the first day of deconfinement, Monday 11 May, 80% of the usual metro and tram lines will be in operation, as well as 80% of the bus lines.
