context_page_description: The Basel tramway network is a network of tramways forming part of the public transport system in Basel, Switzerland, and the Swiss part of its agglomeration. It consists of 13 lines. Due to its longevity, it is part of Basel's heritage and, alongside the Basel Minster, is one of the symbols of the city.
  The trams on the network are operated by two transport providers: Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe and Baselland Transport. Both operators are part of the integrated fare network Tarifverbund Nordwestschweiz, which in itself is part of the three countries-integrated fare network triregio.
  BVB is owned by, and operates in, Basel-Stadt, the small canton comprising the city of Basel and two smaller municipalities, both situated right of the Rhine. Its green trams operate mostly in the city, although the termini of its lines 3 and 6 are in the more rural canton of Basel-Land, whilst line 8 terminates across the frontier in Germany.
  BLT is owned by Basel-Land, and its yellow and red trams operate in the outer suburbs to the south of Basel, and at one point pass through the territory of France.
context_section_description: Currently, the Basel tram network is made up of 12 lines (nine operated by BVB, and three operated by BLT), with a total line length of 65.7 kilometres (40.8 mi).
