The Shenyang tramway network serves Shenyang in the People's Republic of China. It comprises 3 lines. Line 1, 2 and 5 opened on August 15, 2013.^[2] Line 1 is only opened partially and a fourth line (line 3) is scheduled to be opened soon.

History

In Shenyang city, the largest city of Liaoning province, a Japanese owned electric tramway opened in 1925 and replaced an earlier horse-drawn tram system that dated from around 1907.^[3] By 1937 it had expanded to cover 12 km of track and ran 21 tramcars. It was finally closed in 1973.

In 2011 a decision was made to build a new tramway network to complement the Shenyang Metro. The first three lines were opened on August 15, 2013. They are operated by Transdev RATPDev, a joint venture between Transdev and RATP Group.^[4]

Routes

On August 15, 2013, the first three routes of the new system were opened. These were Lines 1, 2 and 5. The trams ran at no cost for the first month with ticketing starting on September the 15th of the same year.
