Background: 125 Years of Public Transport in Jena
The history of public transport in Jena officially began on April 1, 1901, when the first electric tram entered service. Previously, Jena had grown significantly and required a modern transport solution. Over the decades, the network was continuously expanded – a milestone was, in particular, the infrastructural development of large residential areas such as Lobeda and Winzerla in the second half of the 20th century. Today, the tram network known as the “Lichtbahn” (Light Tram), together with the bus fleet, forms the central backbone of environmentally friendly mobility in the city.
