Trams in Messina
Lua error in Module:Infobox at line 314: malformed pattern (missing ']'). The Messina tramway (Italian: Tranvia di Messina ) is a tramway forming part of the public transport system in Messina, a city and comune in the region of Sicily, Italy.
In operation since 2003, the tramway is 7.7 km (4.8 mi) long, and comprises one line, linking Gazzi with Annunziata.
History
Trams returned to Messina on 3 April 2003, after a long gestation and construction period. Messina's earlier urban tramway network had been disposed of more than half a century earlier, following the closure of its last line in 1951.
The new tramway line replaced the former bus line no 28.
The southern terminus of the new tramway, at Gazzi, was activated later; initially, the tram stop at Bonino marked the southern end of the line.
Rolling stock
The tram service is provided by 15 modern 5-element Alstom Cityway articulated trams.
