The trams of Basle - History and future of trams in & around Basel

Home | Contact | D | E | search

The history of the development of the Basel trams is narrowly tied together with the development of new accommodations for the city of Basel. Like fine root runners of a growing tree the new lines strive in areas opened scarcely in the outskirts and provide thus for a binding of the new settlement parts to the municipal centre functions, a lifeline pulsating in the 6 minutes tact, so to speak.
