Idea inspired from Red Tranviaria de Madrid map.
In the late XIX century, early XX, a lot of different tram companies emerged to offer tram or funicular services. Slowly, the OTL (Compagnie des Omnibus et Tramways de Lyon [Lyon Omnibus and Tramways Company]) began to rebuy them, mainly because of the debts they all went in.
The date indicated in each group is the year the company disappeared, bought by the OTL. And 1957 is the year the last tram rode.
The prime of the company was between 1920 and 1935, after what it slowly started to decrease and being replaced by bus.
