Considering the Cris Hotel Lyon in Lyon?

Free metro by barryg23
The metro is useful, but Lyon is best seen on foot. The metro system is rather bizzare in that we always hopped on without paying. In most metro stations around the world you have to pass a ticket through a slot before you can pass. In Lyon, there were no restrictive barriers; instead, there was a ticket slot but you could just walk around it! I'm not sure if this bizzare system is still in place or what the fine is if you are caught, but we went four days without paying....it meant we could eat out too!
