Toulouse Metro

The Toulouse metro (French: Métro de Toulouse) serves the city of Toulouse, France, and some of the surrounding area. The city's public transport system was initially managed by Société d'économie mixte des voyageurs de l'agglomération toulousaine (SEMVAT), which was a company that was 80% owned by local government bodies and 20% privately owned. It has been managed by Tisséo, under the authority of the Syndicat Mixte des Transports en Commun (an authority established by various local government bodies) since 2003.

The Toulouse metro consists of two primarily underground metro lines, Lines A and B, that together serve 37 stations (38 stations, if the single transfer station between Lines A and B is counted twice), and comprise 28.2 kilometres (17.5 mi) of route. The metro itself is supplemented by Lines C and D, which are suburban rail lines running to the west of the city and to Muret respectively, and by lines T1 (old line E) and T2 which are a tramway to Blagnac's suburbs.
