The two new tram lines, the T9 and the T10, should make it easier for the Lyon suburbs to reach Lyon. Thus, the T9 must connect Vaulx-en-Velin and Villeurbanne, serving in particular the Mas du Taureau district and the T10, further south, must run between Gerland and Vénissieux via Saint-Fons.

Although the route of each of these new lines was already planned, uncertainties remained for certain stops. Consultations were therefore carried out this summer and in the fall to decide. This Monday, December 6, Sytral unveiled the selected options, which will have to be validated during the metropolitan council next week.

For T9 as for T10, consultation should continue in the course of 2022. Work should begin in 2023 for commissioning in early 2026.

In Villeurbanne, the T9 will follow avenue Albert Einstein

As a reminder, the T9 must leave from Charpennes and follow the T1 line to the latter’s terminus at La Doua and Parc de la Feyssine. The T9 will continue its route due east to serve the Buers and Saint-Jean districts in Villeurbanne, the Mas du Taureau in Vaulx-en-Velin before joining the metro A terminus at La Soie.

A total of 12 stations, served in a good half hour. By 2030, Sytral estimates an attendance of 27,000 to 36,000 travelers per day. The budget voted for T9 is 224 million euros.

In Vénissieux, the T10 will pass through avenue Jean-Jaurès

The T10 will leave from the Halle Tony-Garnier, in the Gerland district (Lyon 7th district) and will cross the south-east of Lyon towards Vénissieux, to the east. The tram will serve the Gerland stadium, the Edouard-Herriot port, Saint-Jean-de-Dieu, Saint-Fons and the Marronniers district to make its terminus at Vénissieux station and thus join the metro D.

A total of 14 stations, served in about twenty minutes. By 2030, Sytral estimates an attendance of around 22,000 travelers per day. The budget voted for T9 is 230 million euros.
