Since 1897 the city of Bergen was served like by an electric tram system. Sadly, like in so many cities, it was shut down in 1965.

Since then however the city has started to dig up and restore the tracks, and slowly the historic electric tramway has come back in service. There are plans to extend the current line to the city center.

    That’s fantastic. I was reading the Wikipedia article and it’s refreshing to see all the hurdles they went through to get the light rail built. Makes me feel less bad about my country - Norway is about a decade ahead as usual.
