The ''Tramvia Blau'' (Catalan for "blue tramway") is one of Barcelona's three tram systems. It is a long heritage streetcar line serving a hilly area of the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi district between the terminus of FGC Barcelona Metro L7 and the Funicular del Tibidabo.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Case story Tramvia Blau (Blue Tram), Barcelona )〕 The Tramvia Blau is operated by Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) but it is not part of Autoritat del Transport Metropolità (ATM) integrated fare network. Tickets must be purchased from the tram conductor.〔 The Tramvia Blau is one of only two first generation tramways to survive in Spain, along with the Tranvía de Sóller on the island of Majorca. ==History== The line was built at the instigation of Sr.Salvador Andreu, who was building a residential project around the axis of the Avenida Tibidabo, and was inaugurated in 1901. The line connected at ''Plaça Kennedy'' with trams of Barcelona's city system, but was independently owned. The line's own distinctive blue livery soon led to it becoming known as the Tramvia Blau.〔 The line suffered several changes in 1922 and 1958. In 1954, line 7 of the Barcelona Metro was opened to Avinguda Tibidabo station under ''Plaça Kennedy'', providing another connection to central Barcelona. However in the 1960s the city trams were withdrawn from ''Plaça Kennedy'', cutting the Tramvia Blau off from the city network.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tram map - Barcelona 1964 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Tram map - Barcelona 1966 )〕 In 1971 the remaining tram routes of the ''Tranvías de Barcelona'' company were closed. However, the separately owned Tramvia Blau remained in operation. It continued in private ownership until 1979, when it was taken over by the city, who continued to operate it. Between 1971 and 2004, when the second generation Trambaix and Trambesòs lines opened, it was the only tram route in the city.〔〔 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「Tramvia Blau」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
