Bergen
light rail not-a-subway, funicular subway (Flшybanen), heritage tram

Trams serve a 300 meter long line in the outskirts of the downtown area. The funicular, which you can catch near the fish market, is
Bergen's biggest attraction.


Due to open in 2010 is the Bybanen light rail line. The 9·8 km first section between Bergen city centre and Nesttun will have 15 stops. The route will be operated by the Fjord1 Partner consortium led by Keolis. While part of the line is underground, no stations are below the surfact so the line is technically not a subway.

Phase II will see the line extended from Nesttun to the airport at Flesland. There is also talk of linking the light rail line with the Hudson Bergen light rail.
