The Ayacucho Tram (or Medellín Tram) is a Translohr tram system that serves the The Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia. It started public operations on 20 October 2015.[1] The tramline consists of 9 stations with three of those allowing interchanges with the Medellín Metro and the Metrocable systems.[2] The Ayacucho Tram is operated by Metro de Medellín.

History

Medellín had a conventional tramway network twice before. In 1887 a horsecar tram system was operated in the city using mules;[3] but operation of that system ended eleven years later in 1897. Between 21 October 1921 and July 1951, an electric tramway was operated.
