Public Transport / Benelux / Utrecht
In 1989, a high-floor light rail line with 92 cm high platforms was inaugurated in Utrecht to connect the new residential area of Nieuwegein with the city centre. The line splits into two branches in Nieuwegein, the western branch (line 61) was extended to the neighbouring town of IJsselstein in two stages in 1985 and 2000. At the end of 2019, a second line was opened to the university in the De Uithof district (line 22), which was planned as a low-floor tram. To ensure compatibility with the new line and since the high-floor cars built by the Swiss company SIG had reached the end of their economic lifetime, the two existing lines were converted for the use of low-floor cars in 2020/21.
The network is operated by → Qbuzz under the brand name U-OV.
