Euskotren Tranbia, formerly known as Euskotran (abbreviation for "Eusko Tranbia" which means Basque Tram) is a Urban transit tramway system that operates lines in the cities of Bilbao and Vitoria-Gasteiz, plus one under construction in Leioa, in the Greater Bilbao area, all of them in the Basque Country. It began operations for the first time in Bilbao in 2002 and in Vitoria in 2008. It is one of the four commercial brands under the which Basque Railways operates, as a public company managed by the Basque Government. The entire network, as the Euskotren Trena network, uses narrow gauge rail tracks. Euskotren Tranbia operates the tram services, while Euskotren Trena operates the commuter rail networks, Euskotren Autobusa the bus services and Euskotren Kargo the freight rail services. Since 2006 Euskotren Tranbia, formerly known simply as "Euskotran", is the commercial brand for operator of the tram network, while the network itself is owned by the public entity Euskal Trenbide Sarea (Basque Railway Network). In 2012 the commercial brand changed from Euskotran to Euskotren Tranbia with the word tranbia being Basque for "tram".
