Hong Kong Tramways

in #photography7 years ago

Due to continuous growth in population and economy in Hong Kong, demand for a comprehensive transport system began in 1881. England sanctioned the building of a tramway system on Hong Kong Island on 29 August 1901.

The Hongkong Tramway Electric Company Limited was established in England, responsible for building and operating the tramway system for Hong Kong.
At the end of the same year, the Electric Traction Company of Hongkong Limited was founded and took control of the Hongkong Tramway Electric Company Limited. In 1910, the name of the Electric Traction Company was changed to Hong Kong Tramways Company Limited.

I want to share some photos of Tram in Hong Kong today. Thank you.

Trams are still one of the best way to travel within Hong Kong Island. I would like to see them around.

Yea! It is the cheapest transportation!

Awesome photos! I really love the trams in HK! Hope that the government will conserve it well.
