Yangon Tram begun service on a single tram line on 11 January 2016.[1] Yangon previously had a tramway network which closed down during World War II. Funded by Japanese investment, the tram line service at Strand Road terminates between Wardan Jetty and Linsadaung, Botataung Township, a journey of around 4.8 kilometres (3.0 mi) using a single 50-year old tram from Hiroshima, Japan.[2]
The rolling stock is a 3-coach tram with a seating capacity of 200 passengers. The tram runs just 6 times each day,[2] from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm with a fare of MMK100 (Burmese kyat) around USD0.08 cents.
An extension west from Wardan Jetty to Kyeemyindaing, and an extension east from Linsadaung, Botataung Township to Pazundaung Township, would bring the length of the line to 11.3 kilometres (7.0 mi); these extensions are due to be completed later in 2016.[3][4][5]
