Line 88 is a line on the Charleroi Metro in Belgium operated by TEC Charleroi, running from Parc station in downtown Charleroi to Anderlues (west of Charleroi), via the northern part of the downtown loop.

Line 88 was inaugurated on 30 August 1996, together with the Waterloo-Parc section of the downtown loop. It was created to duplicate the existing line 89 between Anderlues and Beaux-Arts, but taking the downtown loop to the North at Beaux-Arts (as opposed to South for line 89).

Line 88 has a length of 16.35-kilometre (10.16 mi)^[1], of which 3.4 km are on a standard tram line on the street (at the Anderlues end) and the remainder on pre-metro infrastructure. It has 14 pre-metro stations and 6 tram stops, and is the longest line of the Charleroi Pre-metro network.

Trams drive on the right on the entire line, but the tram part of the line Anderlues runs on the left, right, or in the middle of the street. A couple of sections of the tram part of the line, in Anderlues, are single track.

Trams on line 88 run from 05:30 until 19:00.
