Brest tramway

The Brest tramway (French: Tramway de Brest, Breton: Tramgarr Brest) located in Brest, Brittany, France consists of two light-rail lines. The system is operated by RD Brest, and it's part of the Bibus network. It is the successor to a tram network that operated in Brest from 1898 to 1944. The network has the distinction of being trilingual (French, English and Breton). Line A, the first line, is 14.3 kilometres (8.9 mi) long and has 28 stops and two branches, connecting Porte de Plouzané in the west with branches to Porte de Gouesnou and Porte de Guipavas northeast of the city centre. The end-to-end journey takes 38 minutes. Line A began service on 23 June 2012, and is expected to serve 50,000 passengers per day. Line B, the second line, is 5.1 kilometres (3.2 mi) long and has 11 stops, connecting Gares (Brest station) in the city centre with CHU La Cavale (hospital) northwest of the city centre. The end-to-end journey takes 17 minutes. There are three transfer hubs along the line. Line B opened to the public on 14 February 2026. At Place de la Liberté, riders are able to transfer between lines A and B, as well as to Line D, a bus rapid transit line (French: Bus à haut niveau de service – BHNS). The lower station of Line C, an urban cable car line (French: téléphérique), lies near Line A's Château station.
