Year 2000 was a big year.

En 1998 la station étoile polygone est bien ouverte mais sous la ligne D directement

[@2971-z2y]

Pour l’extension de la ligne B elle se fera en deux phases l’une jusqu’à Ostwald Hôtel de Ville en 2007 et la deuxième jusqu’à lingolsheim tirgærtel

[@2971-z2y]

La ligne E a son ouverture ne va que de Wacken à Baggersee le prolongement jusqu’à bœklin se fera quelques années plus tard et pour son prolongement à campus d’illkirch cela c’est fait en 2016

Le premier ligne c’est Ligne A? The first line is Line A?

[@Direction-North]

Oui, le premier ligne c’est Ligne A

You forgot line H

[@Direction-North]

I looked at satellite footage and Google Street View, and Line H doesn't seem to meet my criteria for being included as BRT. The footage could be pre-construction though.

@@Direction-North I agree, Line H does not feel like BRT. When I rode it, it was constantly stuck in traffic and it actually just uses normal bus Infrastructure of parallel normal bus lines anyway. The low frequency can also be added, I think that line H is outperformed by L1/L3/L6 in that point, which are not BRT but "lignes forts". From my point of view, Line H was probably included in the reaseau BHNS, so that it shows up on the tramway map and is in general easier to use (like buying tickets at a machine) for people who are not from Strasbourg, as probably many people from outside heading to EU facilities will arrive at Gare Centrale. Line G on the other hand is a completely different experience. This is true BRT. It's frequent and has a dedicated busway for like 70% of its route. I wonder why they did not just built a regular tramway here, seems like a great idea to expand Line C (although the trams had to make head and turn around at Gare Centrale and head back just until Wilson).

​@@pixoontube2912 je sais pas si je peux te parler en français au pire tu traduira , mais dans les schémas directeurs c'était prévu une ligne BHNS de la Gare centrale jusqu'à l'espace européen , il me semble qu'il y avait une vocation à le transformer en tram mais seulement si la fréquentation de la ligne était très élevé et au début ça n'était pas du tout le cas , aujourd'hui il y a plus de fréquentation mais pas autant qu'une ligne de tram

@@raichu4516 Merci pour l'information. Je ne crois pas que la ligne G va être remplacè par tram. On construit une extension du BHNS vers le sud et est de Strasbourg.
