context_page_description: Trams in Linz is a network of tramways forming the backbone of the urban public transport system in Linz, which is the capital city of the federal state of Upper Austria in Austria.
  The network is operated by the Linz Linien division of Linz AG, the city-owned utility company, and uses the unusual track gauge of 900 mm. It consists of four lines, including the Pöstlingbergbahn mountain tramway with which it has been integrated since 2009. Linz Linien also operates the Linz citybus network and the Linz trolleybus system.
context_section_description: The previous terminus (until 2016) of line 3 at Doblerholz was intended to be temporary, with a further extension of some 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) intended. The plan was to build this in two incremental phases, with the first stage terminating at the Trauner Kreuzung by February 2016, and the second phase extending to Traun. In September 2016 the last part (Trauner Kreuzung - Schloss Traun) was finished.
  There are also plans for the construction of a second tram axis in Linz, connecting with the existing north-south line both north of the Danube and south of the railway station, but running to the east of the existing route. This axis would be in tunnel for much of its length, but would cross the Danube using the existing Eisenbahnbrücke.
  Further plans, making use of the additional capacity made available by this second axis, involve the use of tram-trains over local railway lines to form a RegioTram network.
