Metro line C in Lyon has been closed since the morning of Tuesday 3 November 2026 because of a technical incident, according to Lyon Capitale. The disruption affects the tracks, as stated by the transport operator TCL, and the line is not expected to reopen before the end of the day.
Who is affected
Line C is the smallest of the lines in the Lyon metro network. It runs between Hôtel de Ville Louis Pradel and Cuire, so passengers travelling anywhere along this route will not be able to use the metro for the whole day.
Alternative travel
To make trips between Hôtel de Ville Louis Pradel and Croix-Rousse, TCL advises passengers to use bus route C13, as reported by Lyon Capitale from the TCL website. Riders planning journeys on the line should check the TCL channels for updates before leaving.
Expected resumption
According to TCL, traffic on line C is estimated to resume at the end of the day on Tuesday 3 November. The source does not give a more precise time for the restart, so passengers should expect the closure to last until then.
What to know
The information comes from Lyon Capitale, which relays the announcements made by TCL. Those announcements may change as engineers assess the incident, so official updates from TCL remain the reference for passengers who need to plan their journey.
