Prague Trams
From 1875 Prague's trams have been one of the most popular means of transport in the city. Currently the tram network is comprised of 135 km of tracks.
The Prague tram network is 88,5 miles (142,4 km)-long and consists of 22 daytime tram lines and 9 night lines. Combining this means of transport with the metro, passengers will be able to travel anywhere in the city.
The first tram, which was pulled by horses, started running on 23 September 1875.
Due to the horsecar trams constantly derailing and the introduction of the first electric trams in Europe during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century, Prague inaugurated the first electric line in 1891. In 2012, over 324,2 million passengers had used the tram in Prague.
