With over 400+ trams available across the city of Warsaw, it was one of the best ways to see the city.
The history of tram transport in Warsaw dates back to 1866 when a 6k long horse-car line was built to transport goods and passengers between the Vienna Railway Station and the Wilno and Terespol stations across the Vistula River. In 1899 the entire tram system, by then 30 kilometres (19 mi) of tracks with 234 tram cars and 654 horses operating 17 lines, was purchased by the city. By 1903, plans were drafted to convert the system to electric trams, which was done by 1908.
The tram system of Warsaw is one of the original forms of public transport. The trams of Warsaw are currently ran and managed by a company called ZTM, in Polish it is presented as 'Zarząd Transportu Miejskiego' and this translates to 'Public Transport Authority' in English.
ZTM are currently in charge of over 1500+ buses, 30+ metro trains and 400+ trams.
