The Transports en commun lyonnais (French pronunciation: [tʁɑ̃spɔʁ ɑ̃ kɔmœ̃ ljɔnɛ], "Lyon public transport" in French; usually referred to as TCL) is the Lyon public transport agency. It is the second largest public transport system in France (after Paris), and covers 72 communes, including all 58 communes of the Metropolis of Lyon, spread over 746 square kilometres (288 sq mi).[2] [3]
TCL is managed by two companies: SYTRAL Mobilités sets policies and finances the infrastructure, while Keolis Lyon runs the network on a day-to-day basis.
