Nice tramway (1879–1953)

Its lines included: The tramway began operations on 27 February 1879 using horsecars.

Nice Town-Hall decided to slowly close the tramway network and by 1939, only 4 lines remained open.

Due to World War II and the requisition of buses, two lines were reopened.

After World War II, the badly maintained tramways were showing their age, which was surprising for such a popular mode of transport in a touristic city such as Nice.

Tramways were replaced by trolleybus lines from 1948 and the last tram ran on 10 January 1953.
