Florence’s expanded T1 tram line, which runs from the central train station to the Careggi Hospital, is now open. Previously, the T1 line – which opened in 2010 – began at Villa Costanza and stopped at the central train station.
Now renamed the T1 Leonardo line, it has a total of 26 stops along an 11.5-kilometer route, and trains run every four minutes. It is estimated that the line will carry 20 million passengers in Florence annually. A single-journey ticket costs 1.50€
At the opening ceremony, Florence Mayor Dario Nardella said the tram line was built in less than four years, setting a record. The city has plans to open a second and third tram line in the future.
