One of Montpellier's modern new trams. A good place to be on a hot afternoon; going from A to B in air-conditioned comfort.

Montpellier currently has two tram lines. The first line opened in July 2000 and the second line opened in December 2006. A third line is in the planning stage, and is scheduled to open in 2012.

Line 1, coloured blue, is 15.2 kilometres long and runs entirely within the city limits of Montpellier, going on a looping route from the north-west, through the city centre, and then to the east end of the city, terminating at Odysseum, a shopping and entertainment district. There are 27 stations on the line, with 7 major interchanges. Currently, rider-ship on the line averages 130,000 passengers per day, greatly exceeding initial projections of 75,000 passengers per day. The line was completed on a budget of €348.8 million.

Line 2, coloured orange, opened for service on December 16, 2006. It is the longest tram line in France, with a length of 19.8 kilometres and with 33 stations. The line travels between Jacou in the northeast and Saint-Jean-de-Védas in the southwest, via Castelnau-le-Lez (on the boundary with Le Crès) and the centre of Montpellier. Line 2 was built at a cost of €450 million.

Hello Stephen! Nice scene. Very nice perspective. Good light and shadow, very good colors. Original dynamic shot. Well done!

Hi Stephen,
good note, very informative! They are building a tram line in Edinburgh at the moment and creating chaso for the traffic. Hope the system works! Good strong blue with very pale buildings, which look very attractive. thanks for sharing

Hello Stephen. Surprisingly. A blue tram drives along the houses and palms. The intensive color blue overlays remaining motive. The photo pleases me. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Stephen

Good use of diminishing linear perspective & vanishing point with excellent colour & shsrpness. I like the repetition of the profiled white swallows on the blue tram. Well seen!

Hi Stephen,
The urban monotone colors are blown away by the bright blue of this new trolley. Good effect from the diagonal lines as well. TFS. Gerald

Hi Stephen,
