During the week, a tram will arrive at each stop every 3-5 minutes during busy times. All that’s left to do now is sit back and enjoy the ride!
When I first rode the trams, I was a bit nervous. I was worried about taking the wrong tram and getting lost or being late. In my hometown in Cleveland, I always drove everywhere so I wasn’t used to relying on public transportation to get me where I needed to go. However, this was very far from the truth. Trams are easy to understand, there are maps at each tram stop and smartphone apps that can even plan your tram route for you. Also, the tram system is very efficient. Trams arrive at each stop every few minutes, so if you miss one tram another will be there shortly! Trams reduce traffic, which means getting to your destination is quicker than ever. Plus, instead of worrying about driving and parking, you can spend that extra time on the tram talking to friends, reading a book, or listening to music. Trams are my favorite way to get around in Grenoble.
France places high value on being environmentally friendly, as using public transportation like trams and buses use less pollutants than everyone driving in their own vehicle as less exhaust gasses are being released into the atmosphere. Also, the closer you get to the city center, the narrower the streets become.
