The Padua Tramway (Italian: Tranvia di Padova) serves Padova, a city in Veneto (Northern Italy). In operation since 2007, it is 10.3-kilometre (6.4 mi) long, and comprises one line, linking the north with the south calling at the main station and then passing the historic city centre. The system built in the 21st century uses the French Translohr system (tramway sur pneumatiques, i.e. cars run on rubber tyres, a single central rail serving for guidance and return current). The historic tramway having been closed down in 1954, first proposals for the reintroduction of tramways in Padua appeared in 1990. However, only in 1995 the Municipality of Padua was granted state contributions (for a total cost estimated at €61.3 million) provided by law 211 of 26 February 1992 (support for mass rapid transport systems). For Padua, a tramway linking Fornace to Prato della Valle was proposed, which corresponds to part of the current SIR line 1. Ansaldo Transportation, Adtranz, Siemens and Fiat Railway submitted tenders in 1999. More information...
