The Prague tramway network is the largest tram network in the Czech Republic, consisting of 144 km (89 mi) of standard gauge (1,435 mm) track,[4][5] 882 tram vehicles (one of the largest fleets in the world)[6] and 26 daytime routes, 2 historical and 10 night routes[1] with a total route length of 518 km (322 mi).[1] It is operated by Dopravní podnik hlavního města Prahy a.s., a company owned by the city of Prague. The network is a part of Prague Integrated Transport, the city's integrated public transport system.
Prague's first horsecar tram line was opened in 1875, and the first electric tram ran in 1891.[3] Expansion plans were scaled down since the 1970s with the introduction of Prague Metro, however trams still serve a crucial transit and tourist element serving Prague's city centre as well as Prague's suburbs.
The Prague tram system (including the Petřín funicular) served 373.4 million passengers in 2018,[2] the highest number in the world after Budapest. Rolling stock for the network consists solely of trams built locally; mainly classic Tatra trams and low-floor Škoda stock.
