Upgrades to transport infrastructure create temporary but crippling disruptions to the service. Expanding transport capacity on metro lines is an essential element of urban development. However, carrying out major upgrades to existing lines has meant temporarily denying its service to the existing passengers. Until now.

In the charming city of Toulouse in southern France, a creative metro operator has developed a means of major expansion, doubling the line capacity, with only the slightest disruption to the service. Passengers on Toulouse Metro Line A have spent two years journeying through the heart of a construction site without even knowing it.
