Rouen
Light Rail
subway
The
Rouen Metrobus (which runs on two conventional steel rails) was
inaugurated in 1994. It is the first light
rail project in
France developed through a B.O.T. scheme. The 2 line light
rail line is 16 km long
and has 31 stations (of which 5 are underground), it inter-connects the
multiple city centers located on both banks of the river Seine.
Combined
with a thorough restructuring of the bus network, the Metrobus transit
system has improved mobility and the quality of life within the
metropolitan
area.
No new lines are planned and Rouen has instead invested its
transportation monies into bus rapid transit.
A
photo and a comprehensive
history of tramways in France (in French) is located here.
There
are also some
images on the European Railway server here.
