Description
A truly Liège, family-friendly atmosphere reigned for this first tram, which was filled to capacity from the moment it started at 4:22 a.m. Damien, the driver, was accompanied by his family and... many Liège residents, who were keen to participate in this symbolic moment for the Ardent City.
Today, Monday, April 28th, is indeed D-Day. Liège residents, commuters, and tourists can board between Sclessin and Coronmeuse. And it's a wonderful journey back in time for those who knew the tram... 60 years ago.
The tram is rising from the ashes today, after many setbacks and delays, and with changes in strategy since the extensions to Seraing and Herstal were abandoned. Shopkeepers in particular suffered greatly from the organization of the construction site and the delays. You can read the full story of the new tram here.
For users, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike, we'll have to get used to this new player in Liège's mobility, as well as the famous and frequent... ding ding.
The practical tram:
The tram will run every day between 5 a.m. and 1 a.m., every five minutes during rush hour, and every 7 to 15 minutes during off-peak hours, according to the TEC's promises. The fare is the same as the bus fare: €2.60 if you buy a ticket on the bus; €1.15 with a multi-trip pass. The line has 23 stations, several of which are connected to a bus network.
Two large overflow parking lots are in operation in Sclessin and Coronmeuse, for a flat rate of €1.50 per day.
