Since 25 June 2022, line B has been operated in driverless mode using 2-car trains. The northern terminus at Charpennes is single-track, with line B trains being able to switch to the line A tracks to reach the depot at La Soie. Passengers changing between line B and the inbound line A can do so without climbing any stairs.

With Line B having been extended to the west bank of the River Rhône (including an underground river crossing) in 2013 to terminate at Oullins railway station, another 2-station extension was completed from there to an important hospital complex (2.5 km).
