Historic Prague-made tram enters service in city for first time

A new type of vintage tram has gone into regular service in Prague. The Tatra K2 tram joins other historical vehicles used on the city’s 23, 41 and 42 routes.

While the K2 was actually made in the Czech capital for a period of 17 years it was never used in Prague, being considered unsuited for the city’s high traffic intensity. It was deployed in Brno, Ostrava and Bratislava and also exported to the then Yugoslavia and USSR.

The Prague transport authority is operating the vintage tram on a trial basis this month.
