Briefly, the history of the tram in Istanbul
When Istanbul was the capital city of the Ottoman Empire, there were two major tram networks on the Asian and European sides. The lines that first started as horse-drawn trams were replaced by electric tram in time and the Istanbul Electric Tram and Tunnel Management (IETT) was established. The tram lines, which were built step by step over the years, experienced their peak years in 1956 with 56 or 270 trains and 108 million passengers. In the 1960s, after the May 27 revolution, the tram service in the city began to close, and in 1966 it was completely stopped. Instead of removing the lines, roads were built to allow motor vehicles that can move faster and more rapidly under the conditions of that day.
