Bordeaux (Burdigala)
Light Rail

Bordeaux has three light rail lnes totaling 84 stops and 43.3 km. Most of the lines are seperated street runnning.

The first line opened in 2003, and all three use Alstom's APC technology, which embeds the trams' power supply in the ground as opposed to the conventional unsightly method of strining the power above the tram. How gauche! 

As of 2008, a city center tunnel for the tramway is beng debated. According to some - and you know who you are - this would change the defnition of the system from tramway to light metro. Or maybe it would be Metro Light.
