100 years of trams Piran (1912)
The tram of Piran was the public transport between 1912 and 1953 linked with the Tartini Square in Piran Parenzana train station in Saint Lucia (Lucia today).
The concession for the operation of the tram came from Vienna on 11 September 1911. The trolleybus was abolished on the same route, a company of Augusta began to lay tram tracks, while the cables were installed in the poles of the trolleybus. The building had a cost of 150,000 crowns, which were paid by the Municipality of Piran and the Istrian Region. The total line length was 5447 I was five areas that allow trams to meet.
The railway line was handed over to traffic July 20, 1912. Five red cars were purchased, two trailers (summer and winter) and a freight wagon maintenance. Trams traveling along the line at intervals of 30 minutes and reached the 26 km / h. The electricity was supplied by the central Bernardino, but for the needs of the tram the original steam engine was replaced with two diesel aggregates. The year 1935, when the Italian authorities suspended the railway line between Trieste and Porec, brought a significant decline in passenger numbers, but the tram was still maintained. Only after the Second World War, the authorities of the Free Territory of Trieste they decided to delete it, since not competitive with bus traffic. The last race of the tram was made ​​August 31, 1953.
