# Bologna Tram network – Italy

![Bologna Tram network – Italy](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/20211006-bologne-tram-scaled.jpg)

**Mobilised since 2020 for the relaunch of the Bologna tramway, SYSTRA has already contributed to the creation of the first three lines of the network.**

### A COMPLETE MAKEOVER OF THE TRAM NETWORK

The number of[ tramway projects](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/light-rail/)
in Bologna is set to increase as part of its Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan
(SUMP), approved in 2018, the city council announced the following year that it
wanted to have a complete network of almost 60km, with a total of four lines, by
2030.

These lines will replace the bus and trolleybus lines that are most heavily
used, carrying up to 300,000 passengers a day. For the moment, only the Red and
Green lines are underway.

### SYSTRA ON ALL THE LINES

Our teams in Italy have participated in the following projects:

• 2021: design studies for the Red Line
• 2022: contract for the design studies for the Blue Line• 2023: amendment to
the contract for the Green Line to cover its design up to its northern terminus

### THE GREEN LINE, A KEY COMPONENT

The Green Line is a key component in the network as it will connect with the hub
of Castel Maggiore, which links to train and suburban bus networks as well as a
park-and-ride facility.
