Moving about the metropolis
By foot
Economical, ecological and excellent for your arteries, the "pedestrian" mode is possible almost anywhere without danger, especially in the hyper-center with the Jean Jaurès street and the Siam street where cars and motorcycles don’t have access.
By bike
Bikes of all kinds, hoverboards, unicycles, electric scooters, etc. find their place alongside cars by means of dedicated lanes on main streets (last count totalled 207 km) or, where appropriate, by sharing wide sidewalks with pedestrians.
An interactive map of cycling facilities can be found on the city's website.
If you do not have a bike and do not want to buy one, the Vélocibus service is for you. This long-term rental service, set up by the transport operator Bibus, is particularly interesting for subscribers to the public transport network.
For a short trip, opt for the Vélozef service: an electric bike share service (150 in September 2021), VéloZef is designed for an "easy come, easy go" use. Starting at 80 cents for15 minutes.
By bus, tram, and cable car
This network is made up of 22 regular bus lines serving the entire metropolitan area (not including the school lines and reservation services Résago transport on demand) as well as a tram line and a cable car line.
