Basel Trams are operated by two transport operators: Basler Verkehrs-Betriebe (German for Basel Transport Service, BVB) and Baselland Transport (BLT).
BVB are owned by and operate in the Basel-Stadt, the small canton containing the inner city. Its green trams operate mostly in the city, although the terminuses of its lines 3 and 6 are in the more rural canton of Basel-Land.
BLT is owned by Basel-Land and its yellow and red trams operate in the outer suburbs to the south of Basel.[1] However, the three lines it operates, 10, 11, 17, all also run over BVB track in central Basel. In addition line 14, while owned by BLT, is operated by BVB well into Basel-Land.
