7 THE CONCEPT OF TRAMWAY À LA FRANÇAISE Our understanding of modern trams Bordeaux, France

8 The concept of tramway à la française What was the situation until the 80 s? Priority given to cars Poor image of traditional trams Small capacity of transportation Noisy and not comfortable The re-birth of trams A favorable public image Cost-effective public transport system High-capacity service Refurbish our urban boulevards Last tram in operation, Tours, st new tram in operation, Nantes, 1985 Page 8

9 The concept of tramway à la française Urban planning: Promote public transport and pedestrians over cars. Corridors with high transport demand. Bus reorganized to support the tramway line. Reassignment of the road space resets the traffic hierarchy. Page 9

10 The concept of tramway à la française Operation characteristics: Segregated alignment or mixed with cars? Commercial speed parameters: Environment context Distance between stops Full priority at junctions Melbourne, Australia Average operating speed of 17 to 20km/h Angers, France Page 10
