Abstract
The first LRT line to be implemented by the Reims Metropolitan area will run from north to south of the city and cover a distance of nearly 11.5km.It will form the backbone of the new public transport network. Designed to complement the LRT line, the bus network will be restructured for its opening in April 2011. The new system will also offer direct connection between the two new existing TGV railway stations. This article discusses the schedule of works, the rolling stock, and the restructuring of the bus network.
