TVR opened 28 January 2001, planned to replace dual-mode buses. Operation suspended 9 March 2001 - 13 March 2002 because of technical problems. Note: TVR, Transport sur Voie Réservée, is the Guided Light Transit guided bus system, marketed as "Trams sur pneus" (trams on tyres). Caen vehicles collect current from a single overhead wire using a pantograph, and return current through the center guide rail. Nancy vehicles collect and return current from twin overhead wires using trolley poles.
