Info

The Neuchâtel tramway (French: Tramway de Neuchâtel, or (locally) Tram) is a tramway forming part of the public transport system in Neuchâtel, a city in Switzerland.
Opened in 1892, the tramway has waxed and waned over the years. Currently, it comprises only one 8.85 km (5.50 mi) long interurban line, which runs via Auvernier and Colombier to Boudry, and is designated as line 5. All of the system's urban tram lines were converted to trolleybuses, the last such closure and conversion taking place in 1976, leaving just interurban line 5 (present line 215).
The tramway is currently operated by Transports en commun de Neuchâtel et environs (formerly Compagnie des Tramways de Neuchâtel) (TN), which also runs three funiculars, the Neuchâtel trolleybus system and various conventional bus lines.
