An extension of Tram Line T1 of almost four kilometers from the original southern terminus at Arènes to Garonne and Palais de Justice, allowing direct transfer between the tram and Toulouse Metro Line B, has been open in December 2013.[4]

A 500 m (550 yd) northern extension is expected to open in 2020 which will serve a new exposition centre. The new northern terminus will be Parc-des-Expositions.[5]
