The Vienna tramway network is a vital part of the public transport system
in Vienna. In operation since 1865, the network reached its greatest extent
during the interwar period (1918–1939). Today, it is still one of world's
largest tram networks, at about 172.1 km (107 mi) in total length. The
trams on the network run on standard gauge track. Since 1897, they have been
powered by electricity. In 2009, a total of 186.9 million passengers used the
network's trams.
Here a M-tramcar with
m-trailer which operated in 1973 is seen on the streets of Vienna. These trams
are preserved at the Tram Car Museum “Electrische Museumtramlijn” in Amsterdam.
