The Tramway of Clermont-Ferrand

I forget to speak about the brand new tram of Clermont-Ferrand. It is not finished yet and will really start to run in October.

Most of the railway is built and I was surprise to notice that is a monorail or very very broad. I did not see any special conditions to explain this choice, but I found an explanation: They want vehicles with wheels to keep using Michelin tyres.

OK for a real answer in french look wikipedia and Translohr.
