A new tram-on-tyres line opened in Castellon de la Plana on June 2008. The east-west track connects Parque Ribalta to the Universitat Jaime I, with 3 intermediate stops (one of them serves the interchange bus and railway station). An eastern extension from Parque Ribalta to Grao suburb (along the coast) is planned, as well as a second line connecting Castellon, Vila Real, Almassora and Burriana.
