The Port Elizabeth tramway network formed part of the public transport system in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, for nearly 70 years until the end of the 1940s.
History
[edit | edit source]Opened in 14 May 1881, the Port Elizabeth tramway network was operated initially by horsecars.[1] From 16 June 1897, the network was converted to electrical power.[1] It was closed on 17 December 1948.[1]
The tram rails are still visible in a few locations, notably outside the Port Elizabeth Golf course on the approach road to Cape Road.
