It is the future new link in the transport network of the metropolis of Montpellier (Hérault).

On Monday, the first bustram circulated in the capital of Hérault.

He left Antigone and went to Pompignane, then Millénaire.

This new mode of transport, electric and silent, will run from 2025 on five new lines.

Most of the time, on dedicated lanes, and, sacred advantage over cars, with priority at red lights.

With optimized frequencies: a bustram will pass every 10 to 15 minutes, from 5 a.m. to midnight.

The objective, for the metropolis, is to convince motorists to leave their car in the garage.

The first bustram, tested since Monday in the metropolis of Montpellier, may not be the vehicle that will be chosen.

This is the model imagined by Mercedes-Benz, but the manufacturers Solaris, Ebusco, Irizar, Iveco, Volvo and Man will also participate in this experiment, which aims to find out how this type of vehicle behaves in traffic.

And above all, evaluate the performance of their batteries.
