Trams in Turin, Italy







The Turin tramway network is an important part, along with the Turin Metro of the public transport network of the city of Turin in Italy. In operation since 1871, the network is about 84 km  long, and comprises 10 lines.

Lisbon Trams, Portugal.




The Lisbon tramway network  serves the municipality of Lisbon. In operation since 1873, it presently comprises five urban lines. The construction of the Metro and the expansion of the Bus system began the slow decline of the network.

The five remaining lines only operate in the southern centre and west of the city. Despite the relevant tourist attraction, those lines are still very important because of sections of the city's topography that can only be crossed by small trams. Tram 15 also connects the entire western river front of the city to the centre and allows a better flow of passengers with the bus system towards an area that still is not served by the metro.
