The Klagenfurt tram network operated in various forms between 1891 and 1963,[1] which was when diesel buses took over, reflecting lower operating costs at a time of relatively low prices for oil based fuels.
In 2005, in response to exceptional levels of particulates pollution in Klagenfurt the city authorities proposed a resumption of tram services. A feasibility study was commissioned, but concluded that the cost of the necessary investment would be prohibitive.
