[edit] Future extensions
Line B will be extended from Cité International to the Polygone Scientifique early in 2009. A new line, Line E, will replace bus line number 3, and is projected to be complete by 2012. In 2013, Line A will be extended both from Fontaine to Sassenage, and from Échirolles to Pont-de-Claix. Extensions to line D, probably from Saint-Martin-d'Hères to Alpexpo or towards Meylan are also planned.
A "tram-train" linking Moirans to the centre of Grenoble as well as one linking Crolles and Grenoble are projected. A link from Grenoble to Vizille via Le Pont-de-Claix, Jarrie and Champ-sur-Drac are also projected and should be opened in 2015.
