 Historic tramway of Grenoble

The ancient tramway of Grenoble is an urban and suburban electric tramway network from the Grenoble region created in 1894, operated by the société grenobloise de tramways électriques, and which has today entirely disappeared.A this time of industrial and demographic growth, the old hippomobile modes of transportation, fiacres and horsebus, established since the end of the 18th century, are not sufficient anymore to ensure sufficient service in cities.
