The Lviv tramway network (Ukrainian: Львівський трамвай, translit.: L’vivs’kyi tramvai) is an electric tram in Lviv, Ukraine. It is one of two tram system in Western Ukraine (the other one in Vinnytsia), and the largest among narrow-gauge tram systems in Ukraine.
From 1880 to 1908, the trams used a horse-drawn system, converting to an electric system after 1894. It is the first in the territory of modern Ukraine to have a system of horse-drawn trams, or any type of tram, as well as the second one after the Kyiv trams to use electricity.
The tram system's greatest height was reached on the eve of the Second World War, when it was the main transport system of the city; from the middle of the 20th century it gradually lost its position. In 2010, the tram accounted for 24.4% of passenger traffic in the city. As of January 1, 2022, there were 8 routes in the system, operated by the utility "LKP Lvivelectrotrans". At the end of 2021, 24,678,300 paid passengers (including 2,785,623 students) used the services of trams and trolleybuses. In 2021, trams performed 3.79 million km of transportation work (vehicle-km). The length of the tracks and contact network is 81.85 km (2022), and the route network is 99.1 km (2022).[1]
In January 2024, 1 243 959[2] passengers were transported by eight tram routes.
It is planned that in the future the tram will become a primary mode of transport in Lviv.
