Current Network
As of November 28, 2010, the current network has 6 lines and a total length of 55.8 km.However, due to the fact that many lines overlap with each other, the length of physical track is only 38.7 km. The system's hub is Homme de Fer, a station in the city centre where 5 of the 6 lines intersect. In the pedestrianized city centre, the tram shares space with pedestrians and bicycles. In the suburbs, the tram shares the road with automobiles, but trams are not subjected to the rules of the road, in common with other French tramways. Instead, the tram uses its own dedicated signalling system, benefitting from priority over other traffic at all junctions.
The six lines are:
- Line A: Hautepierre Maillon in the northeast to Illkirch Lixenbuhl in the south (12.5 km).
- Line B: Hoenheim Gare in the north to Lingolsheim in the southwest (14.7 km).
- Line C: Gare centrale to Neuhof in the south-east
- Line D: Rotonde in the northwest to Aristide Briand in the east.
- Line E Robertsau Boecklin in the north and Baggersee in the south.
- Line F Elsau in the south to Place d'Islande in the East.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or network:
“Beneath the azure current floweth;
Above, the golden sunlight glows.
Rebellious, the storm it wooeth,
As if the storms could give repose.”
—Mikhail Lermontov (1814–1841)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
