Trams in Durban

The Durban tramway network formed part of the public transport system in Durban, South Africa, for nearly 70 years until the end of the 1940s.

History
Opened in March 25, 1880, the Durban tramway network was operated initially by horsecars. From May 1, 1902, the network was converted to electrical power. Beginning on February 24, 1935, it was gradually replaced by the Durban trolleybus system, which was opened on that day. The tramway network was finally closed on August 2, 1949.
