While many supporters are expected in Lyon this summer, Sytral Mobilités announces an exceptional plan to facilitate their travel.
As part of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Lyon will host 11 football matches between July 24 and August 9. On this occasion, Sytral Mobilities is planning an exceptional system to ensure the fluidity of passenger flows.
Welcoming 30,000 spectators per match
This multimodal transport plan will make it possible to accommodate 30,000 spectators per match on the TCL network. As reinforcement, “Every match day, nearly 300 agents will be mobilized“, indicates Bruno Bernard, president of the Lyon Metropolis. These agents will focus in particular on driving, security, management and supervision of flows. The objective of Sytral is in particular to encourage the use of public transport as a priority during game time.

Tram lines T3, T5 and T7 as well as metro A will also be reinforced during this period. Subways will run until 1 a.m. on match nights. Special tram and bus shuttles will also be set up two to three hours before the start of the competitions. A 5-euro round-trip ticket will be introduced for the occasion. But also 24-hour and 48-hour discovery passes at 10 and 15 euros, shuttles included.
During the event, photo exhibitions will be installed in the Stade de Gerland, Saxe Gambetta and Bellecour metro stations.
