History

Due to their form also referred to as "Pilze" (mushrooms) in Biel/Bienne, the former tram stop shelter on the Zentralplatz/Place du Centrale is one of these protected ones built during the period of "Red Biel/Bienne".

After the tramways were converted to trolleybus operation in Biel/Bienne in the 1940s, the station kept it original purpose and operates as bus stop until today.

In 2001 it was moved a few meters on the occasion of the redesign of the central square. It has been renovated in 2020.
