For many Lyonnais, the metro is a bit like a second home. In fact, many don't hesitate to act as if they were playing at home. They put their feet up on the seats, play their music loudly, and so on. However (and this may surprise you), some of these practices are simply not allowed! We have identified for you 10 offenses punished by TCL agents, apart from not having a ticket, and here they are!
