It was constructed using the cut-and-cover method, and went into service on 2 May 1978.[1] It, together with Line B, were the inaugural lines of the Lyon Metro. An extension of Line A from Laurent Bonnevay, Astroballe to Vaul-en-Velin, La Soie opened in 2007.[1] The line currently serves 14 stations, and is 9.2 kilometres (5.7 mi) long.[1] Line A trains run on tires rather than steel wheels; it is a rubber-tired metro line.
