The Dijon tramway (French: Tramway de Dijon) is a tramway system opened in Dijon, France, in September 2012. The tramway consists of two lines totaling 20 kilometres (12.4 mi) in length and serving 37 stations.
Line T1, was the first one to be opened,[1] is 8.5-kilometre (5.3 mi) long and has 16 stations running from the Dijon railway station to Quetigny. Two months after opening line T1 carried an average of 36 000 passengers a day during its first two months in service, 6,000 more than the highest forecasts.
