The Johannesburg tramway network formed part of the public transport system in Johannesburg, South Africa, for just over 70 years until the start of the 1960s.
History
Opened on 2 February 1891, the network was operated initially by horsecars.[1] From 14 February 1906, it was converted to electrical power.[2]
Beginning on 26 August 1936, the trams were gradually supplemented by the Johannesburg trolleybus system, which was opened on that day.
However, the tramway network lasted for several more decades, until its closure on 2 August 1961.
