The network is built around some big stations:
- Bellecour which is set in the very centre of the city, and has many connections with other stations
- Part-Dieu which is the business centre and a train station
- Hôtel de Ville is the city centre and offer a connection between two metro lines
- Charpennes which is the crossroad of several metro lines or tram lines to every direction (north, east, south, west).
- Other stations less important but which are connections between "strong" lines like metro or tram lines and bus lines: Vaise, Laurent Bonnevay, La Soie, ... Perrache is also a big train and bus station (and metro and tram too).
- Saxe-Gambetta
TCL is managed by two companies: Sytral sets policies and finances the infrastructure, while Keolis Lyon runs the network on a day-to-day basis.

Famous quotes containing the word network:
“Of what use, however, is a general certainty that an insect will not walk with his head hindmost, when what you need to know is the play of inward stimulus that sends him hither and thither in a network of possible paths?”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Parents need all the help they can get. The strongest as well as the most fragile family requires a vital network of social supports.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“A culture may be conceived as a network of beliefs and purposes in which any string in the net pulls and is pulled by the others, thus perpetually changing the configuration of the whole. If the cultural element called morals takes on a new shape, we must ask what other strings have pulled it out of line. It cannot be one solitary string, nor even the strings nearby, for the network is three-dimensional at least.”
—Jacques Barzun (b. 1907)
