The Line A of EuskoTran, also known simply as Bilbao's Tram is a tramway system in Bilbao, Spain which began operation in December 2002.〔(EuskoTran Official Website )〕 It is one of the two light rail tram lines operated by EuskoTran in the Basque Country, being the other one the Vitoria's tram. The service is operated by EuskoTran, part of Eusko Trenbideak. Bilbao's Tram, or Line A (map icon 20px), serves twelve stations, several of them with interchanges and connections with Metro Bilbao, EuskoTren and Cercanías Bilbao. The factor leading its creation was to improve Bilbao's railway network; the tram serves neighborhoods that do not have stations of Metro Bilbao or Cercanías. Also, the tramway's line goes through important touristic and cultural spots, like the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao. == History == The EuskoTran brand was born to improve the railway services in Bilbao, and to serve neighborhoods and areas unattended by Metro Bilbao or Cercanías Bilbao. It took 15 years of studies and research to contemplate the need of a tram or light rail subway in the city. The construction of the first phase of the line started on May 1999. The first six stations were opened on December 18, 2002 by Juan José Ibarretxe, ''lehendakari'' of the Basque Country at the time. Between 2003 and 2004 four new stations are opened.〔 In 2008 a proposal for an expansion of the line, with three more stations, is presented. In 2010 the construction of two of the three stations (the last one being ultimately discarded) started. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Line A (EuskoTran)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
