The second network was far less efficient than the first; In 1901 the trams transported only 1.46 million passengers over 16 km (9.9 mi) of route, being 91,000 per route kilometre (56,500 per route mile). (
In 1908, over 20 million people used public transport in Rouen, 19 million with the CTR, 1.6 million with the CGT.)
In 1908 the CGT disposed of the second network to the Compagnie centrale de chemins de fer et de tramways because of administrative problems, a serious accident at Monumental on 6 November 1908 and a considerable deficit.
This became an opportunity for the rival CRT, who in 1910 took over the CGT's running rights and so were finally rid of competition.

The CTR was now master of all of the public transport in Rouen and its suburbs (having also absorbed the tramway and funicular railway of Bonsecours on 25 September 1909).
It reorganised its service to be more integrated.
It also expanded the service with later-running trams, and extended Line 12 first to Champ de Courses (opened 1 January 1910) then to Bois-Guillaume (opened 4 June 1911) and Mont-Saint-Aignan (opened 15 March 1913).
This last section, running over the local authority's rails, connected Grand-Quevilly (Rue de l’Église) and, on a branch, the district of Petit-Quevilly (opened 1 August 1915).
The network had grown to its largest, with 70 km (43 mi) of routes (including the tramway of Bonsecours).
