Overview

The Bonn tramway network (German: Straßenbahn Bonn) forms part of the public transport system in the city Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, along with the Bonn Stadtbahn with which the tramlines are heavily integrated. The tram network consists of three tram lines which makes Bonn's tramway relatively small, as it comprises only 29.52 kilometres (18.34 mi) of route. The tramway is operated by 24 low-floor tramcars.

The system is operated by SWB Bus und Bahn, a subsidiary of Stadtwerke Bonn, and integrated in the Verkehrsverbund Rhein-Sieg (VRS).
