CTS, Compagnie des Transports Strasbourgeoise, manages the excellent and efficient public transport service in the city. Fourty-one urban buses and 8 tram lines, ensure connections, in a widespread manner, both in the center and in the suburbs.
You can easily move around the center on foot, or, alternatively, by bike and scooter. The car is absolutely not recommended for getting around the city.
GETTING AROUND STRASBOURG BY TRAM
The tram network consists of 8 lines, each identified by a number and a color. Note that bus lines G and H are classified as trams. Trams represent an excellent and efficient service that allows you to move around the city. The races are quite frequent, and the service is guaranteed every day, including holidays, shortly after midnight.

Trams run from Monday to Saturday, from 04:30 to 00:30; Sundays and holidays, from 05:30 to 00:30.
The frequency is 5/6 minutes from 06:30 to 20:00, and 15 minutes from 04:30 to 06:30 and after 20:00.
BUS
The buses are extremely efficient, modern, and comfortable. 35 urban lines operate daily, allowing you to travel around the city center and reach the more peripheral areas of the city. Many lines, like the trams, operate until late at night. Urban buses are identified exclusively by numbers from 2 to 76.
Since 2023, with the (successful) aim of easing traffic, six special lines called Chron’hop have been in operation. These are easily recognizable blue buses that connect various areas of southern Strasbourg with the city center. A distinguishing feature of the Chron’hop buses is their fluidity and frequency: wait times vary from 7 to 10 minutes! The buses operate every day, including Sundays and holidays, from 5:00 AM to 12:30 AM. The same fares apply as buses and trams.
BICYCLES AND SCOOTERS
The truly comprehensive offering allows you to get around the city by bike or scooter. There are several rental agencies.
For scooters, KNOT (in collaboration with PARCUS) is a quick and convenient solution. Simply download the app (iOS and Android) and register in just a few minutes. You can choose between the long-distance rate (€10 for 8 hours) or the daily rate: in the latter case, you’ll pay €1 for the service and €0.18 for each minute of use. Stations are located throughout the city: once you’re finished, you’ll need to leave your scooter in the designated area and wait for the green light to confirm.
For those who want getting around Strasbourg by bike, among the various agencies, L’INCREVABLE offers prices starting from €28 for the whole day! It’s located at 3 Place de Zurich.
