System map

The Zagreb tram network, run by the Zagreb Electric Tram (ZET), consists of 15 day and 4 night lines in Zagreb, Croatia.[1] Trams operate on 116.3 kilometres (72.3 mi)[1] of metre gauge route. During the day every line runs on average every 5–10 minutes, but almost every station serves at least two routes. Nighttime lines have exact timetables averaging at about every 40 minutes. The first horsecar tram line was opened in 1891,[2] and the first electric one in 1910.[2]

History

At the end of the 19th century rapid urbanisation took place in Zagreb. City fathers started discussing the idea of installing horsecar system in Zagreb. The construction of one gauge tram track began on 11 May 1891. Trams should have been put in service on 15 August 1891, on the opening day of the Jubilee Economic-Forestry Exhibition. Due to vehicle delivery delay, however, the tram was instead put in service on 5 September 1891. That day was officially taken as the beginning of organised public transit system in Zagreb. The gauge was 0.76 m and track length was approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi).

The first electric tram track was opened on 18 August 1910. The horse-drawn trams were kept until a tram electric network was finished, and then they were moved to Velika Gorica where they remained in use until 1937.

The oldest rolling units of the post-World War II tram system were the two-axle TMK 101 trams. Three prototype units were built by ZET workshops in early 1950s, and other 68 units until 1965 by Đuro Đaković factory, with 110 matching trailers. A few of them were replaced by GT6, but they were in regular use until the TMK 2200 series came. They started to be replaced in the 2000s (decade), as the TMK 2200 started going into operation, and by mid-2007, only about 15 units of type 101 were still operational, serving only as a substitute for other vehicles. They were eventually pulled out of service in late 2008.

Current operations

In 2024, ZET trams transported 121,83 million people, almost 333,773 every day.[4] The majority of stations serve multiple tram lines. Trams are more frequent on work days, especially during rush hour, and the least frequent on Sunday. Daytime lines come every 5-15 minutes on average.[5]

Lines 10 and 16 no longer exist. Line 10 used to connect Savski most and Borongaj via the Central railway station. It was discontinued in the early 1980s, when a reorganisation of lines reintroduced line 1 and consequently made it impossible to have a line number 10; due to shift numbering, the lines 1 and 10 would end up overlapping. Line 16 used to connect Črnomerec and Zapruđe, but it was discontinued in 1991, due to a shortage of drivers when the Croatian war of independence started.

Line 15 is a specific exception: the line is closer to a light rail line than an actual tram line. It runs for approx. 3 km from Mihaljevac to Dolje. The line runs on a completely segregated right of way. A special type of catenary was developed for the line, which allows trams to reach speeds of 60 km/h. Thus, the line from Mihaljevac to Dolje is the fastest and the shortest line in the entire tram network. It was opened in the 1960s.

Rolling stock

ZET rolling stock is very diverse. It currently includes around 259 motor units of 8 different tram types, of which 154 are low-floor trams.[6] Most of the stock today consists of TMK 2200 trams, a total of 140 units acquired from 2005 to 2010. The next most common tram type is made by ČKD, comprising a total of 95 T4YU units with 85 matching B4YU trailers, and 51 articulated KT4YU units.[7][8] T4YU vehicles entered service between 1976 and 1983, and KT4YU followed in 1985.[8]

TMK 201 trams were in operation until 2025, when they were retired.[9] Built from 1973 to 1975 by Đuro Đaković, ZET used to have a total of 30 trams with 32 trailers, but half were scrapped and their bases were reused in the production of TMK 2100 trams.[10][11] TMK 201s are similarly designed, but technically significantly different from the older TMK 101 trams, retired in 2008.[12] In 1994, Končar built the TMK 2101 tram, a prototype of the TMK 2100, which was later produced from 1997 to 2003.[13] A total of 16 units were built, including the prototype.[8] From 1994 to 1998, ZET bought and received 35 used Duewag GT6 trams (5 of them are GT6 "type Mannheim") from Mannheim, Germany. They were brought as a temporary solution, as the lack of funds prevented the buying of new vehicles. All of the GT6 trams have since been replaced by the new TMK 2200 trams and scrapped.[13][14]

In 2003, ZET ordered 70 new low-floor TMK 2200 trams from Crotram, a consortium led by Končar.[15] In May 2005, the first prototype was delivered.[16] It features air-conditioning, cameras outside (instead of rear view mirrors) and inside, and a maximum speed of 70 km/h.[17][18] Although Crotram designates these trams as TMK 2200 (tramvajska motorna kola), ZET designates them as NT 2200 (niskopodni tramvaj).[19] The last tram of the original order was delivered on 28 May 2007, and on 7 June, Zagreb organised a tram parade where all 70 TMK 2200 trams drove through the streets of Zagreb, to celebrate a new generation of low-floor trams.[20][21] In July 2007, a contract for an additional 70 TMK 2200 vehicles was signed, which would have a redesigned seat layout allowing wider passages and additional handrails on the ceiling.[15][22][23] The 140th unit entered service on 30 June 2010, featuring a redesigned seat layout allowing wider passages, and additional handrails on the ceiling.[24] In 2009 and 2010, ZET received 2 TMK 2300 (TMK 2200K) trams, shorter versions of TMK 2200s. They operate on less busy and nighttime lines.[25]

In spring of 2023, the city initiated an international public tender for the purchase of 11 second-hand trams worth €2.7 million, to which Stadtwerke Augsburg responded by offering 11 Adtranz GT6M trams.[26] ZET received the first unit on 1 December, and after testing, the tram went into service on 27 December.[27][28] In September 2024, ZET signed a contract with Končar to buy a total of 40 new TMK 2400 trams, an upgraded version of the TMK 2200 model, worth around €80 million.[29] The first unit entered service on 10 March 2025.[30]

ZET also keeps two museum units of M-24 trams (built by ZET workshops), one with a "Košak" trailer (also built by ZET), and the other with "Pagoda" trailer, which was formerly 1910 motor car made by Ganz Budapest.
