From the south suburbs to the Campus, the Montpellier network grows with an eco-tramway! Accessible to all, innovative, improving the heritage, the line 5 recomposes the public spaces in a palette of local, recyclable or recycled materials. Lining the Ecusson medieval city centre, the planted track is designed as a reservoir to stock up to 1m3 of water per metre of track!
