Trams operate on 116.3 kilometres (72.3 mi) 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

54-516: A gondola lift and a funicular line. Historically, ZET workshops also produced trams (namely, types M-22, M-24 and three TMK 101 prototypes). The first tram line was opened on September 32, 1891, setting off a vital part of the Zagreb mass transit system. Zagreb today features an extensive tram network with 15 day and 4 night lines running over 117 km (73 mi) of tracks through 255 stations and transporting almost 500,000 passengers per day. During

81-545: A "Košak" trailer (also built by ZET), and the other with "Pagoda" trailer, which was formerly 1910 motor car made by Ganz Budapest . 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. ZET received the first unit on 1 December 2023. Zagreba%C4%8Dki elektri%C4%8Dni tramvaj ZET operates an extensive bus system, 19 tram lines (15 daytime lines and 4 nighttime lines),

108-638: A certain line- some bus lines have 5 minute intervals, others 15, or even 50-minute intervals, and some run only in peak times. Physical (paper) Timetables are given only for the first and the last stops, but online (www.zet.hr) you can see timetables for every stop on every line. Buses generally serve as feeders for tram system. Current stock is around 300 units, and it consists of MAN , Mercedes-Benz and Irisbus-Iveco buses. Buses are mostly low-floor , with high-floor buses in use only on suburban-regional routes. In June, 2007 ZET started using biodiesel in 11 busses, and since 2009 sixty CNG buses are in use. ZET

135-459: A few others are expected soon. Out of 56 suburban routes, 23 of them run in the City of Zagreb administrative area: numbers 159-164, 166, 168, 261-263, 269-280. Since tariff system change put in service on January 1, 2006, all routes on the territory of City of Zagreb have been running in the 1st zone. Suburban routes outside of City of Zagreb run in zones 1-4, most of them beginning at tram terminals in

162-498: A speed of 5.6 metres per second (18 ft/s) and it takes cable car roughly 15 minutes to travel the entire route distance. A cabin can hold eight adults and service in peak time can operate Gondola car every 40 seconds either way. Tickets are between 50 Croatian kuna for locals or 75Kuna (10€) for visitors one way, the return ticket price is around 125kuna. Previous gondola lift was in operation from 1963 to 2007, when it officially ceased to operate. Modern Gondola lift Cable Car

189-480: A temporary solution, as the lack of funds prevented the buying of new vehicles. All of the Düwag trams have since been replaced by TMK 2200 and scrapped. In 2003 ZET ordered 70 new 100% low-floor trams from Crotram , a consortium led by Končar. In May 2005 the prototype was delivered. It has air-conditioning, cameras outside (instead of rear view mirrors) and inside; its maximum speed is limited to 50 km/h. This type

216-427: A total of 95 units of T4YU with 85 matching B4YU trailers, and 51 units of the articulated KT4YU . T4YU vehicles entered service between 1977 and 1983, and KT4YU followed around 1985. The oldest units still in service are TMK 201 , built in 1973 and 1974 by Đuro Đaković . ZET used to have a total of 30 TMK-201 units with 32 trailers, of which nine remain in use, as some were scrapped and their bases were reused in

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

270-471: Is designated as TMK 2200 ( Tramvajska Motorna Kola ) by Crotram, although the designation NT 2200 ( Niskopodni Tramvaj ) is used by ZET. The last tram of the original order was delivered in May 2007, and on June 7 Zagreb organised a tram parade where all 70 TMK 2200 trams drove in a snake through the streets of Zagreb . In July 2007. a contract for an additional 70 TMK 2200 vehicles was signed. On December 27, 2007,

297-423: Is only 66 m, but height difference is 30.5 m and inclination 52%. This makes it one of the shortest, but also one of the steepest funiculars in the world. It runs at a speed of 1.5 m/s, needing 1 minute to complete the trip. City of Zagreb operates gondola lift or Cable Car service towards Sljeme on Medvednica Service is around 5047m long with the height difference of 750 meters. Gondola Cars travel at

432-434: The 71st tram, the first from the second series was displayed. It has redesigned seat layout and wider passages. On January 26, 2009, the 100th low floor tramcar entered service. The last car from the second order entered service on June 30, 2010, meaning that currently there are 140 TMK 2200 trams operating in Zagreb. In 2012 the city ordered 60 TMK 2200 K, shorter version of TMK 2200 tram, however only two were delivered at

459-564: 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. Lines 10 and 16 no longer exist. Line 10 used to connect Savski most and Borongaj via the Central railway station. It

486-400: 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. Daytime lines also have timetables, but they don't usually abide to them due to traffic fluctuations that can prolong a trip by more than 30 minutes, leading to frequent gaps at and after rush hour . Rolling stock

513-522: The first zone, connecting the city with surrounding villages and towns, but some of the routes also begin in towns Zaprešić and Velika Gorica. These 35 lines go to following areas in Zagreb County : cities Velika Gorica (268, 290, 302-305, 307-311, 313, 315, 319-325, 330, 335) and Zaprešić (170, 172, 180, 181, 182) and municipalities of Luka (174), Bistra (175-177), Jakovlje (178), Klinča Sela (165, 169) and Stupnik (111, 164). The longest route

540-405: 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

567-518: 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

594-621: The production of TMK 2100s . TMK-201 are similarly designed, but technically significantly different from the older TMK 101 , retired in 2008. ZET also has the only unit of an articulated ĐĐ prototype tram produced in 1990. In 1994 Končar built the prototype of the articulated TMK 2100 tram, which was later produced from 1997 to 2003. A total of 16 units were built including the prototype, and some remain in service. Also, from 1994. to 1998.

In 2022 the city ordered additional 20 TMK 2200 Trams with further 40 trams to be ordered in following year (2023) for total of 202 TMK 2200 trams. New Trams will replace T4YU and last of the TMK 201 trams. The city hopes to operate uniformed tram type by the end of decade, with TMK 2100 relegated to night service only. ZET also keeps two museum units of M-24 trams (built by ZET workshops), one with

648-661: Was a German manufacturer of rail vehicles. It was sold in 1999 to Siemens with the brand later retired. Duewag was founded in March 1898 as Waggonfabrik Uerdingen in Uerdingen and produced rail vehicles under the Düwag brand.

In 1981,

675-461: 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:
