The Toruń tram system is a tramway in Toruń, Poland that has been in operation since 1891. The system is operated by Miejski Zakład Komunikacji w Toruniu (MZK Toruń). There are 7 tramlines with a total line length of 54.3 kilometres (33.7 mi). The system operates on 28 kilometres (17 mi) of route on 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge (narrow gauge) track. A total of 45 trams of the 805Na type are in operation.
Since the Closure of the Tram Line on the Jòzef Piłsudski Bridge to the main railway station in 1984, Trams in Toruń have exclusively operated on the northern bank of the Vistula. [1]
A 1.7-kilometre (1.1 mi) extension was built to serve Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. It was originally projected to open in 2013,[2] but the extension ultimately opened for service on 24 June 2014.[3]
The most recent extension, built to serve the Osiedle Jar housing estate in the north of the town, was inaugurated on 25 August 2023 and started normal passenger operations on 1 September 2023.[4]
