Swiss Trams in Basel - Basler Drämmli - Tramway de Bâle

The only tramway network in the world that connects three different countries (Switzerland, Germany and France) also uses particularly long articulated vehicles from two different operators.
The green trams of Basler Verkehrsbetriebe (BVB) are complemented by the yellow trams of Baselland Transport AG. The latter mainly operates long interurban routes that also have significant overland sections south of the city, but still also loop through the downtown area. The green trams of BVB run both to Weil am Rhein, Germany and St. Louis, France.
While BLT uses very long Stadler Tango vehicles designed for overland running (hence their use of a Jacobs bogie), BVB has extra long Siemens Combino and Bombardier flexity light rail vehicles (LRVs). The River Rhine is crossed on three different bridges.
This film shows everyday operations in the city center of Basel and was filmed in March 2021.

Das Basler Drämmli gehört zur Stadt am Rheinknie wie die Fasnacht. Dieser Film zeigt den städtischen öffentlichen Verkehr im Frühling 2021, an verschiedenen Stellen in der Innenstadt, auf beiden Seiten vom Rhein.

Some great scenes of the old city and a good variety of rolling stock

Thanks, yes Basel has a very scenic tramway network, both downtown and also along the overland sections. Even though the Zurich tram network is growing at a quicker pace than Basel, many consider Basel the de-facto "Tram Capital" of Switzerland. Simply because the system has so many novelty features and interesting quircks.

I'm a train and I approve this informative video!

I have been to Basel three times and find it wonderful. Basel's tram system is the best I've ever seen: modern, comfortable, goes everywhere, better than a subway. Even here in Milan we have a large tram network, but it is not well used: there are some sections that are not very well developed and are used only for service, when they could be used for new lines. the 1928 trams are still in service on lines 1, 5, 10, 19, 33.
