According to a statement from the Nice Côte d’Azur Urban Community (CANCA), since Saturday, October 13, 2007, the tram has been operating under nearly normal conditions. No passengers are on board. The purpose of the maneuvers is to complete the training of the drivers. At the end of the tests, they must be able to handle more than 90% of the technical incidents encountered on their own. This includes power outages, forced turnarounds, and other unforeseen events on the line.
CANCA plans a definitive launch on November 24. Until then, get your cameras ready for a much-anticipated parade. Starting today, the trial running hours and the number of trams on line 1 will gradually increase until it is fully operational. You can follow the maneuvers every day from 6 AM to 8 PM, except on Sundays. By the end of October, there will be a new development. The frequency levels and schedules will intensify, with 13 trams running daily from 4 AM to 1 AM. In early November, we will be even closer to the goal. You will be able to purchase your tickets and see 17 trams in operation during peak hours and 13 during off-peak hours. From November 13 to November 24, get used to living with the tramway because, let us remember, it is a priority project under all circumstances.
