Tram Rides

Started in 1902 Tram is known as the lifeline of Kolkata. It is operated by the Kolkata Tramways Company. It is the oldest tram service in Asia.

It is still transporting the people of the city while attracting tourists as well. Trams are one of the cheapest modes of transport you can avail in Kolkata. The Tram runs at a speed of about 35 km per hour on the roads of Kolkata.

Still, it is a favorite among the people of Kolkata and has become the identity and pride of this city. However, due to the impact of modernization of trams that have been the hallmark of Kolkata for almost a hundred years, there is a danger of being buried in the pages of history.

The number of trams has come down drastically over the years. The tram ride now seems like a heritage. A museum has also been made on Tram Service in Dharmatala. It is a great place to know, about the history of the Trams.

If you are planning to come to Kolkata, then take out a separate time for the Tram and ride it so that you can know this heritage of the last more than hundred years.
