 While there are some stretches that can be described as classic tramway lines, the majority of the east-west-network has been upgraded to a high standard with long sections having segregated right-of-way, justifying the term "low-floor light rail" ("Niederflurstadtbahn").In 2006, during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, route 1 was extended to Weiden-West, via Schulstraße, which connects to the RheinEnergieStadion.In 2007, Line 8, which previously operated during peak hours, stopped service.
