The MCL 80 (Métro Crémaillère Lyon 1980) refers to the electric multiple units operating on Lyon Metro's Line C. Manufactured by Alstom (formerly Alsthom) in collaboration with SLM, all five trainsets began service in 1984. Distinct within the Lyon Metro system, this series employs steel wheels rather than the more common rubber tires.
