Nanjing Trolleybus Overhead Map, 1983
An urban tramway, worked by steam traction, once operated in Nanjing, but details (at least in English) are few.
(I once read a news item in an old American trade publication (probably pre-1911!). This stated that tramway service in "Nanking" had been established by "a local mandarin.")
The Nanjing trolleybus system was opened on 1960 August 1. It was closed on 1996 January 10.
Nanjing started construction of its first metro line in 2000 and opened service on 2005 September 3. There are now two lines with a total system length of 87.0 km. Expansion plans outline a system of 17 urban and suburban lines, with a system length of about 600 km, by 2030.
Annual passenger traffic was 452 million at 2013.
