The Poznań tram system is a tramway operated by Miejskie Przedsiębiorstwo Komunikacyjne w Poznaniu Sp.

The tram system consists of about 66 kilometres (41 mi) of route, operating on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge track.

After receiving concessions from the town authorities on 30 July 1880 they began running a horse tram in Poznań.

On the next day the first regular line transported passengers from the main train station via ul.

Wilhelmowski/Wilhelms Platz (currently Plac Wolności) to Rynek/Ring (currently Stary Rynek English: Old Market).

Despite the need for modern public transport in the city, after a few weeks the company found itself on the edge of bankruptcy.

There were two reasons for this: firstly the branch route had too few passengers, and secondly all the signs in the trams were only in German, leading to a boycott by the Polish majority.

The financially troubled company was bought by the Poznań Horse Railway Society (Polish: Poznańskie Towarzystwo Kolei Konnej, German: Posener Pferde-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft), which obtained a concession and monopoly on tram transportation in the city.

Before World War I the tram network was extended to the Municipal Slaughterhouse on ul.

Strzelecka and Krakowska), to Śródka, Sołacz and Dębiec (to the Cegielski Factory).

New routes were also built in the centre of the city, including overpasses over the railway tracks: Most Teatralny and Most Dworcowy.

Between the wars new routes were built to Golęcin, Dębiec (extension of existing tracks), Dębina (to the public beach on the bank of the Warta), Ogrody, Grunwald and Winiary.

A planned route to Główna was cancelled due to the opening in 1930 of a trolleybus line there.

Tram transportation was partially restored two years after the war, in 1947, though only on the left bank of the Warta.

The first post-war tram on the right bank appeared in 1952, when the new Marchlewski Bridge was opened (now called Most Królowej Jadwigi).

In the following years new routes connecting different districts and bypassing the centre of city were built: Also some lines to peripheral districts were built: A revolution for public transport in Poznań was brought about by the opening in 1997 of the 6.1 km long Poznański Szybki Tramwaj (English: Poznań Fast Tram) route, nicknamed "Pestka" by locals.

Of great importance for tram transportation in Poznań was the general strategy for city development from 1994.

According to this document trams are to serve as the fundamental mode of transport in the city.

On 14 August 2007 a long new route opened, as the first section of the so-called Ratajski Szybki Tramwaj (English: Rataje Fast Tram).

On 11 August 2012 the final section of the route to Franowo opened, connecting the area of the former terminus loop at os.

On 1 September 2013 an extension of the PST route was opened which runs parallel to the railway line between Poznan Główny station and Głogowska.

In 2019 all remaining Konstal 105Na and Duewag GT8 trams are scheduled to be replaced by newer Moderus Gamma LF02AC trams Historical fleet: Cars awaiting renovation: Retired cars: Królowej Jadwigi - Górna Wilda - 28 Czerwca 1956 r. - DĘBIEC PKM Operates on weekends between 29 April and 14 October.
