Helsinki opened its first horse-drawn tram line in 1891, with the electrification following just 10 years later. While the finnish capital kept growing, the 50-kilometer tram network is still mostly serving the city center. However, new lines into the suburbs are being planned.
The ten lines are mostly served by low-floor "Artic" trams, which have been constructed to suit the arctic climate of Helsinki. Also, there still are some "Valmet" cars left, which have been equipped with a low-floor midsection. Starting in 1973, they were built in two series and used to be the world's first tram series with chopper-controlled drive.
