Nancy | Transport sur Voie Réservée TVR | Guided Light Transit GLT| Nancy Guided trolleybus.
The GLT follows a central rail, the rail does not support the vehicle, and the actual wheels which are as independent as those of a regular bus. In Nancy, more than one-third of the 10 km route has no guide rail, and steering is controlled entirely by the driver.
The guided trolleybus operation struggled and suffered numerous technical problems right from the beginning, and could not offer a reliable service during lengthy periods of time. The conversion of the similar system in Caen to conventional tramway operations also accelerated conversion plans in Nancy. The Nancy will cease operation in March 2023 and will be replaced by conventual trolleybuses. After only 20 years, the concept of TVR as a means of city transport has come to an end.
The Nancy GLT system is operated by the Société de Transports de l'Agglomération Nancienne, or STAN.
