The heavy works started in Lyon several months ago on the line are continuing. From Monday to Thursday, metro B will not run in the evening because of the work carried out at night to automate the line, that is to say allow it to operate without a driver on board from 2021. "Full automatic pilot operation with the new metro trains will increase the frequency of passage and therefore the capacity of metro B", the TCL reminded us on Friday.
Line B - From 9.15 p.m. From 08/31 to 09/24. Only Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Automation work. Relay bus set up. More info https://t.co/RrbmS0mtSu.
