history

Between 1887 and 1947 there was already a tram network of around 38 kilometers in Palermo. The network was badly damaged by several bombing raids during World War II. After the adjustment, which has been O bus -Netz expanded (in operation 1939 to 1966) in Palermo.

Considerations for rebuilding a tram in Palermo began in the 1980s. In 2000 the European Investment Bank provided around 160 billion lire (88 million euros) for the construction of three tram lines (along via Leonardo da Vinci , corso Calatafimi , Corso dei Mille ).

In August 2001, the project was temporarily blocked by a commissioner from the city of Palermo, Guglielmo Serio, because parking spaces had to be defined along the route and he did not agree to the guided tour through corso Calatafimi due to limited space. In May 2002 the project was finally approved by the city. For the completion of the lines 1/2/3 44/48/52 months were estimated.

After two tenders with no results, the construction work was awarded to a temporary consortium for 192 million euros. Construction officially began in June 2006, and actually in September 2007.

The first test drives on Line 1 were carried out in July 2014.

Perspectives

At the presentation of PRG Palermo 2025 , Mayor Leoluca Orlando announced the construction of three more tram lines: Line 5 is to connect the two stations via Foro Italico and via Notarbartolo . Line 6 connects to line 4 and is supposed to run through the Falsomiele district to Bonagia , cross the Oreto river and end at Orleans train station. Line 7 connects Stazione Centrale with Mondello .
