caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: Trolleybus Irisbus Cristalis de la ligne C3 au terminus de la Gare Saint-Paul. English: An articulated Irisbus Cristalis trolleybus in Lyon, France.
context_page_description: The Lyon trolleybus system is part of the public transport network of the city and commune of Lyon, France. Opened in 1935, it combines with the Lyon Metro, the Lyon tramway network and Lyon's urban motorbus network to form an integrated all-four scheme.
  Lyon was one of the first cities in France to experience trolleybuses. It is the capitale du trolleybus français. In 1961, the Lyon trolleybus system had the largest number of trolleybuses ever to operate simultaneously in France. In the 21st century, it has been a leader in the development of new trolley buses.
  The system is owned by SYTRAL, and, like most of the rest of the all-four scheme, is operated by Keolis Lyon on behalf of Transports en commun lyonnais. Since 2006, it has been expanded by the electrification of two major new lines. As of 2015, the system consisted of nine lines.
