CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SYSTEM

NETWORK LENGTH



HISTORY

Note: As Strasbourg belonged to Germany before 1918, its tram network originally extended across the Rhine to the city of Kehl and the countryside beyond. But these connections were interrupted in 1918, and never restarted. Tram service using modern trams was, however, restored across the Rhine on 28 Apr. 2017.
