Basel has one of Switzerland’s most fascinating tram networks, combining dense city routes, suburban railway-style sections and international lines extending into both Germany and France. In this video, we explore Basel trams in 2026 — from the busy hubs of Centralbahnplatz and Aeschenplatz to the historic streets along the Rhine and cross-border routes reaching Weil am Rhein, Saint-Louis and Leymen. We take a look at the diverse fleets of BVB and BLT, including Siemens Combino, Bombardier Flexity 2, Stadler Tango and TINA trams, as well as increasingly rare classic Schindler “Cornichon” tram sets. Finally, we travel along the remarkable Basel–Rodersdorf line, where trams leave the city streets behind and run through the countryside on railway-style infrastructure, including single-track sections and a short journey through France.

In the only city with 3 train stations of 3 different counties., with the only really International Airport (Swiss and European Terminals) MLH / BSL / EAP.
Oh, and as you have seen, 2 tramway companies…
А вроде в Цюрихе ещё есть подземные станции трамвая? Это наследие неудавшегося метро, которое начали копать, а потом сознательно сами отказались, если верить урбанисту Аркадию Гершману.
