 Aubagne, France : 28th April 2017                                                                                        Map  
The small town of Aubagne, close to the eastern edge of Marseille appears a strange place for a new tramway to have been built. With French cities jumping on the bandwagon in their droves, Aubagne, with a population of just 46,000 in 2008, joined in. The tramway, opened in September 2014, is only 2.8 km long and links the town's railway station with the high-density residential development at Le Charret with five intermediate stops, but does not penetrate the town's central area. Trams are not entirely new to Aubagne : an inter-urban line linked the town to the centre of Marseille from 1905 until 1958 and there were hopes (currently dashed) that the new system would be later extended to link with Marseilles' network once more.  The one highly notable thing about this system is that its use, and that of buses, is completely free to passengers as part of the local authority's fares policy
