The
Melbourne tramway network is a
major form of public transport in Melbourne. Trams have operated continuously
in Melbourne since 1884, with the opening of a horse tram line in Fairfield,
since then they have become a distinctive part of Melbourne's character and
feature in tourism and travel advertising. Melbournes cable tram system opened
in 1885, and expanded to one of the largest in the world, with 75km of double
track. The first electric tram line opened in 1889, but closed only a few years
later in 1894. In 1906 electric tram systems were opened in St Kilda and
Essendon, marking the start of continuous operation of Melbourne's electric
trams.
