The first electric trams or streetcars appeared in Basel in 1885 and were quickly successful in operation. The so-called «Drämmli» began to operate not only in town, but also to the countryside and even abroad. On this non-official website you will see how the trams developed in Basle and you can even take virtual tram-rides. Please step-in and grip!

Note: The website in English is in preparation. The first pages to be released in English are about: the Basel tram history, tram future, actual timetables, history on tramway models and the travel-reports of the Lisbon tramways and the new tramway on Tenerife and in Mulhouse. More pages for English-speaking visitors will be released during the next weeks. Check out regularly for changes and refresh your local website cache
