Tрамваи в Санкт-Петербурге: Trams in St Petersburg, Russia 2021

Old and new trams! (Still can't believe some of these older trams are running the streets of St Petersburg!)

Trams in Saint Petersburg are a major mode of public transit in the city of Saint Petersburg, Russia. Saint Petersburg once had the second-largest tram network in the world, consisting of about 340 kilometres (210 mi) of unduplicated track in the late 1980s. However, since 1995 the tramway network has declined sharply in size as major portions of track were removed, particularly in the city centre. Saint Petersburg lost its record to Melbourne, Australia.[2] While it still had 285 kilometres (177 mi) of length in 2002, by early 2007 the tram network's had declined to just over 220 kilometres (140 mi), and by the 2010s operated on just 205.5 kilometres (127.7 mi) of network.

The system is operated by Gorelektrotrans, a municipal organization that operates St. Petersburg's 40 tram routes, as well as the city's trolleybus network. ~Wikipedia
