Murphy's law for public transport in Lyon.

In addition to the national strike movement which notably limits the TER service, a generalized computer breakdown nailed the metro trains to the station this Thursday morning.

All four lines were affected.

The situation looked more complicated for the two automated lines (B and D).

But traffic was finally able to resume around 9:30 a.m. on all lines A and B and partially on line D (from Gare de Vaise to Grange Blanche).

No relay bus due to snow

At the same time, the snow which continues to fall on the agglomeration and sticks to the ground prevents the installation of relay buses.

Users are therefore blocked in front of stations with damaged iron curtains, trying to find information and find shelter.

Some buses also return to the depot in the Monts d'Or and western Lyon areas, which are particularly snowy.

The icing on the cake, the TCL site is out of service.

Users are invited to fall back on the application for information.

The trams operate normally, as well as the Vélov service, for the bravest.

Keolis announces 17.5% of strikers out of its entire workforce.
