History of the Helsinki tram system : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of the Helsinki tram system
Today, Helsinki is the only city in Finland to still have tram traffic. Two other Finnish cities—Turku ''(see Turku tram)'' and Vyborg ((フィンランド語:Viipuri), (スウェーデン語:Viborg), (ロシア語:Вы́борг); now part of Russia)—have had tram systems. Vyborg abandoned its trams in 1957, after the city had been ceded to the Soviet Union following the result of World War II. Turku withdrew its trams in 1972. == 1890–1900: Horse-drawn single-track lines ==
The first proposals for the construction of a tram system into Helsinki were made in the 1870s, but they were at the time unsuccessful.〔Hanna Sirkiä〕 Public transport in Helsinki was initiated in 1888 by Helsingin omnibussiosakeyhtiö, using horse-drawn omnibuses.〔Antero Alku, pp. 20-21〕〔Timo Herranen, pp. 29-31〕 In 1889 Helsingin Omnibussiosakeyhtiö acquired the right to construct tram lines in Helsinki. The following year the company changed its name in Helsingin raitiotie- ja omnibussiosakeyhtiö (abbreviated HRO). Electric traction was considered as a power source for the new system, but due to lack of funds and the city council's negative attitude towards electric trams, the decision was made to use horse-drawn trams instead.〔〔Timo Herranen, pp. 37-45〕 The new system was built to a track gauge of one metre. Test traffic started in December 1890, but the network wasn't officially opened for traffic until June 1891. The capacity of the horse tram system soon proved insufficient, but the changeover into electrified trams was postponed while waiting for the price of electrification of the network to drop.〔〔 The slowness of the electrification process was the source of conflict within the HRO, and during the latter half of the 1890s Julius Tallberg acquired the right to construct an orbital tram system around the city, that would have linked together the existing HRO lines and parts of the city not covered by the HRO lines. Following negotiations Tallberg and his associates transferred the construction permit of the orbital line to the HRO in return for a large number of HRO stocks.〔
