Original tramway
The first public transport service in Bordeaux was a horse-drawn omnibus, introduced in 1830. In 1880, the first horse-drawn tramway was introduced, and eventually 752 horses were used to pull 71 cars. The horse-drawn tramway was limited to the city of Bordeaux and, as a consequence, the first electric tramwaywas introduced in the neighbouring suburbs in 1890. The city's horse-drawn trams were replaced by electric trams in 1900. In 1920 the various tramways were unified, allowing expansion of...
Without a tramway
By the 1970s the failure of the "all car" transport policy had become obvious, but Chaban was not prepared to backtrack.

A particular feature of the new Bordeaux tram network is its ground-level power supply system which is used in the city centre to avoid overhead wires spoiling the view of buildings. This was the source of many difficulties and breakdowns when first introduced. Improvements since then, however, have increased reliability and the network is now one ...
