The Merano Tramway was built and opened in 1908 to satisfy the urban transport requirement in the town of Merano, at that time an important town in the Austrian monarchy. There was already a tramway crossing the town, the railway. The new tram line was to cross the town at right angles to the existing line. Apart from the garage behind the cemetery, all traces of the line have been erased. In political campaigns by local politicians, there has been sometimes talk of reactivating the tram to reduce air pollution in the town, which today has a lot of traffic.

  • Die Straßenbahn Meran erschloss von 1908 bis 1956 die Stadt Meran sowie den 1924 eingemeindeten Vorort Obermais. (de)
  • La rete tranviaria di Merano era costituita da due linee tranviarie entrambe originariamente a carattere extraurbano: la prima collegava la stazione ferroviaria con piazza Fontana a Maia Alta, allora comune autonomo, mentre la seconda collegava la piazza del Teatro con Foresta, nel comune di Lagundo. La rete fu attiva fra il 1908 e il 1956, allorché venne sostituita con autoservizi. (it)

  • The Merano Tramway was built and opened in 1908 to satisfy the urban transport requirement in the town of Merano, at that time an important town in the Austrian monarchy. There was already a tramway crossing the town, the railway. The new tram line was to cross the town at right angles to the existing line. The line started at the then-new station, it went on to Mazzini Square and Theatre Square, where there was a junction with the railway. After crossing the Post Bridge the line inclined sharply, and after eight kilometres it terminated at the Fountain Square in the Obermais quarter. The Tram Depot was at the rear of the cemetery, and is used today by the city's bus company.The profit of the company was not very high during the years the tram line operated. So after some time some of the cars were sold to the Bolzano Tramway company. In the 1950s, like many other railway lines in the region, the tram was substituted by a bus line. Apart from the garage behind the cemetery, all traces of the line have been erased. In political campaigns by local politicians, there has been sometimes talk of reactivating the tram to reduce air pollution in the town, which today has a lot of traffic. (en)
