=== Train ===
The main railway station, with regional and national services, is [[Toulouse-Matabiau station]]. In addition, there are several smaller stations in the city: [[Toulouse-Saint-Agne station|Toulouse-Saint-Agne]], [[Gallieni-Cancéropôle station|Gallieni-Cancéropôle]], [[Toulouse-Saint-Cyprien-Arènes station|Toulouse-Saint-Cyprien-Arènes]], Le TOEC, Lardenne, Saint-Martin-du-Touch, Les Ramassiers, Montaudran and Lacourtensourt. The stations of Lalande-L'Eglise and Route-de-Launaguet were served until 2016.

=== Metro ===
All urban bus, metro and tram services are operated by [[Tisséo]]. In addition to an extensive bus system (145 lines), the [[Toulouse Metro]] is a [[Véhicule Automatique Léger|VAL]] (Véhicule Automatique Léger) [[rapid transit|metro]] system made up of driverless (automatic) [[rubber-tyred underground|rubber-tyred]] trains:
* Line A runs for {{convert|12.5|km|1|abbr=on}} from Balma-Gramont in the north-east to Basso Cambo in the south-west.
* Line B, which opened in June 2007, serves 20 stations north to south and intersects line A at Jean Jaurès.

Line C is under construction for an opening in 2028 with 21 stations over 27&nbsp;km. It will cross line B at 2 stations (La Vache and François Verdier) and will cross line A at Matabiau Gares (central train station)

Actual Line C has existed since line A was completed. It is not VAL but an urban railway line operated by [[SNCF]]. It connects to line A at [[Gare de Toulouse-Saint-Cyprien-Arènes|Arènes]]. Two other stations located in Toulouse are also served by line C. Lardenne, formerly named "Gare des Capelles", changed its name in September 2003 when line C opened.<ref name="Le RER toulousain entre en gares">{{Cite web |title=Le RER toulousain entre en gares |url=http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2003/09/01/142866-le-rer-toulousain-entre-en-gares.html |website=ladepeche.fr |access-date=6 February 2016}}</ref> Le TOEC station opened on 1 September 2003 with the creation of line C, allowing an urban train service in Toulouse and close western suburbs.<ref name="Le RER toulousain entre en gares"/> Since 2023, the service is now named ''Arènes-Colomiers'' train line to leave the name for the new metro line.<ref>{{Cite web |date=23 May 2023 |title=Plan détaillé du réseau |url=https://www.tisseo.fr/sites/default/files/plan_detaille_reseau.pdf |access-date=8 July 2023}}</ref>

Similarly, Line D runs south from [[Gare de Toulouse Matabiau|Toulouse Matabiau]] to [[Muret]].

=== Tramway ===
The Toulouse conurbation has [[Toulouse tramway|two tram lines]]:
* The tramway line T1, with 25 stations and 14.8&nbsp;km long, has been in service since December 2010. It links Toulouse to the new MEETT Exhibition and Convention Centre in Beauzelle, via Blagnac.
* The tramway line T2, which connects Toulouse-Blagnac airport, is a branch of the first line. It is currently stopped to transform it into an airport express tram which will be connected to metro line C in 2028.

=== Cable car ===
Since 13 May 2022, the city of Toulouse has had a new mode of public transportation called Téléo. This is a cable car that links Paul-Sabatier University to Rangueil Hospital and the [[Oncopole de Toulouse|Oncopole]] (a major cancer research centre). It allows to fly over the Garonne and the hill of Pech David and, with its 3 kilometres, it is the longest urban cable car in France. It is presented as the first link in a public transport belt that is not radial and oriented towards the city centre, but designed to encircle the south of Toulouse.

=== Bicycle ===
In 2007, a citywide bicycle rental scheme called VélôToulouse was introduced,<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=VélôToulouse arrive... |url=http://www.ladepeche.fr/article/2007/11/11/223506-velotoulouse-arrive.html |language=fr |work=La Dépêche du Midi |location=Toulouse |date=11 November 2007 |access-date=27 March 2017 }}</ref> with bicycles available from automated stations for a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly subscription.
