The B line of the Bordeaux tramway is operated by Transports Bordeaux Métropole, and connects Station Pessac Centre in Pessac to Claveau in north Bordeaux.
Equipment
Line B of the tramway uses Citadis 300 cars from Alstom. These type 402 cars are 44 meters long and offer 300 seats. These air conditioned cars operate both with overhead power lines and ground-level power supply (APS).
APS is used for part of line B, notably in the center of Bordeaux and when crossing Talence. The change between APS and overhead lines takes place at the station, Peixotto, at the entrance to the university area.
