Read full descriptionHide full description
Discover Lyon one stop at a time. Lyon Subway Map brings transport maps, station information, an offline route planner and a practical city guide together, helping you prepare the journey and enjoy the destination. YOUR LYON TRANSPORT MAP Explore the city on an interactive map. Find stations, follow colour-coded lines and see how different parts of the network connect. Switch from the big picture to the details of a line or station, then return to the map when you need your bearings. Keep Metro, tram and funicular information close as you plan a day around the river, the city centre or your next neighbourhood. PLAN BEFORE YOU GO Choose your starting station and destination in the built-in route planner. Review a suggested journey, its stops and connections before setting out. The planner uses information stored in the app, so you can prepare supported routes without an internet connection. Journey durations are estimates calculated by the planner; they are not live departures or guaranteed travel times. STATIONS AND CONNECTIONS Open individual station cards and browse stations along a selected line. Get a clearer picture of your journey before reaching the platform. Use the map to understand where you are heading and the line list to explore the network at your own pace. Whether you are visiting for a weekend or organising a familiar trip, the same tools help you keep the next step in view. A GUIDE BEYOND THE PLATFORM Explore the station-based city guide for ideas around your next stop. Discover places to visit and make transport part of your plan for the day. Start with a station, look at nearby points of interest and choose what you would like to explore. Keep the practical journey and the interesting destination in one app. ARRIVING IN LYON Browse Lyon airport information and transport guidance as you prepare the first part of your visit. Airport boards and connected travel services depend on their external data sources. Check the relevant operator or airport for the latest departures, disruptions, access requirements and fares. TOOLS FOR A DAY IN THE CITY Check local weather and time, browse price guidance and find information about food, shopping, safety and travel rules. Use these tools to prepare for the conditions, organise your day and decide what to explore next. Reference prices and travel guidance provide context; they do not replace current offers, official advice or professional guidance. FROM THE FIRST STOP TO THE LAST Prepare a route before leaving, consult the map when you arrive and open the guide when you are ready to explore. A focused collection of transport and travel tools keeps useful information together on iPhone and iPad. Choose the screen that suits your planning, from a quick station check on your phone to browsing the network on a larger display. IMPORTANT TRAVEL INFORMATION Online map tiles, weather, airport boards, external links and connected services require internet access. Data availability and service coverage vary. Some guide content or features may require viewing an advertisement. Always check current transport operations, fares, opening hours and important travel requirements with official sources before relying on them. Lyon Subway Map is an independent travel app. It is not affiliated with TCL, SYTRAL Mobilités, SNCF or airport operators.

Suivez les bus, trams, métros et funiculaires de Lyon en direct sur la carte, et sachez à quelle heure le vôtre arrive à votre arrêt. Chaque véhicule bouge au fil des positions transmises par TCL. Touchez-en un et la carte ne garde que sa ligne, à ses couleurs officielles, avec son retard et l'âge de sa position. Ouvrez un arrêt pour voir les prochains passages, rangés par direction : l'heure d'arrivée du prochain bus, le nombre d'arrêts qu'il lui reste à parcourir et, quand le direct se tait, les horaires prévus de la fiche horaire. Les horaires de toute la journée sont là, ligne par ligne, sens par sens et arrêt par arrêt, pour aujourd'hui, demain ou une date plus lointaine. Ils viennent du SYTRAL et se rechargent chaque nuit. Abonnez-vous aux lignes que vous prenez et choisissez les perturbations qui méritent une notification. L'état du trafic reste visible sur la carte. L'onglet Autour de moi réunit ce qui vous attend dans la rue : les parkings et leurs places libres, les parcs relais TCL, les stations Vélo'v avec leurs vélos disponibles, les arceaux où attacher un vélo, les emplacements réservés aux deux-roues motorisés et les chantiers en cours. Six widgets posent sur votre écran d'accueil vos prochains départs, un tableau de départs, l'état de vos lignes, les places d'un parking, une station Vélo'v ou les chantiers autour de vous. Les données viennent de la Métropole de Lyon (data.grandlyon.com) et de SYTRAL Mobilités, en licence ouverte. Lyon Pocket est une application indépendante, sans lien avec TCL, SYTRAL Mobilités ou Keolis Lyon. Gratuite, sans publicité, sans compte et sans traçage : rien de ce que vous faites dans l'application n'est collecté.
