The Bologna tramway network (Italian: Rete tranviaria di Bologna) was an important part of the public transport network of Bologna, Italy. It was established in 1880 and discontinued in 1963.




History


The first plans for six horsecar lines were approved by the town council in 1877:

Piazza Vittorio Emanuele-Bologna Centrale railway station
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele-Porta San Felice
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele-Barriera Santo Stefano
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele-Porta Maggiore
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele-Porta San Mamolo
Piazza Vittorio Emanuele-Porta Saragozza.
Works on the first stretch, linking Bologna Centrale railway station to Piazza Maggiore, began in September 1880. Service began on Saturday, 2 October 1904.
The first two electrified lines began operating on 11 February 1904.
In 1953, it was decided that, starting from the following year, tramway lines would be gradually discontinued and transformed to bus and trolleybus lines. Service was officially discontinued on Sunday, 3 November 1963, when the last tramway service operated on the last remaining line to San Ruffillo.

The post-Second World War period in Bologna caused the change of some road names and some routes merging with other ones. Piazza Vittorio Emanuele Became Piazza Maggiore. The tramway network served San Lazzaro di Savena for the first time.
