From the Introduction: One of the hallmarks of Krakow Poland is its large tram system. One of the few remaining cities anywhere in the world to still have the street railway as its primary means of public transport, the network which is composed of 25 lines and 56 double tracked route miles, is as complex as it is vast. Except for the Old Town, tracks are laid on nearly every major street in the downtown region and they branch off to every corner of the metropolitan area. Defined by their blue livery, a hallmark of its vehicles since the system's electrification in 1902 (the first lines opened in 1882 as horsecars), the blue trams are as much a defining feature of the city as its many ancient landmarks, a tourist attraction in their own right.
