The Toruń tram system is a tramway in Toruń, Poland that has been in operation since 1891. The system is operated by Miejski Zakład Komunikacji w Toruniu (MZK Toruń). There are 7 tramlines with a total line length of 54.3 kilometres (33.7 mi). The system operates on 28 kilometres (17 mi) of route on 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge (narrow gauge) track. A total of 45 trams of the 805Na type are in operation.
A 1.7-kilometre (1.1 mi) extension was built to serve Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. It was originally projected to open in 2013,[1] but the extension ultimately opened for service on 24 June 2014.[2]
The most recent extension, built to serve the Osiedle Jar housing estate in the north of the town, was inaugurated on 25 August 2023 and started normal passenger operations on 1 September 2023.[3]
