Riding the Medellin Tram

The Ayacucho Tram (or Medellín Tram) is a Translohr tram system that serves the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia. It started trial operations on 20 October 2015.[1] The tramline consists of 9 stations with three of those allowing interchanges with the Medellín Metro and the Metrocable systems.[2] The Ayacucho Tram is operated by Metro de Medellín. Ayacucho Tram is the only rubber tire tram both in Colombia and the Southern Hemisphere. Medellin once had a standard steel wheeled tramway network. It first was opened as horse tram and later converted to electric tram. Routes were built step by step, and it reached their most widespread network in 1945 with 61 tramcars. But like most cities around the world during the fifties & sixties, the tram service was completely stopped in 1951. Trams returned to Medellin in 2015. Commercial service started in 2016. Ayacucho Tram started construction in 2012. In July 13, 2015, Medellin tram trial operation started, and in 31 March 2016 passenger operations officially started. The Medellin tram network uses Translohr vehicles, imported from France.
