Good afternoon everybody! I would like to present you the public transport in Zagreb. Zagreb PT consists of:
a) Trams
b) Buses
c) Suburban rail
d) A funicular
e) A cable car
Trams, the funicular and the cable car to the Sljeme mtn. above Zagreb are operated by ZET (Zagrebački električni tramvaj; Zagreb Electric Tram; www.zet.hr), suburban rail is operated by HŽ (Hrvatske željeznice; Croatian Railways; www.hznet.hr). all city buses are operated by ZET, while suburban buses can be operated by some private companies, too.
First part of this report will be rail vehicles: suburban rail, trams and the funicular.
Suburban rail
Suburban rail is operated by the 6 111 series of the HŽ EMU's. Currently, there are 21 of them, and they usually drive solo, rarely can they be seen coupled (because not all the stations are long enough, yet). They run mostly E-W through the city.
Not all stations and trains are so nice (infact, few are), but the situation is improving, with rebuilding (and prolonging) the stations, and modernizing the trains. Lately a lot has been said about buying new trains (which is an urgent need), but nothing specific yet.
Among the railfans, the trains are called "Mađar" (The Hungarian), because they've been produced by Ganz Mavag in Budapest.
Trams
First electric tram was inaugurated 18.8.1910. Currently there are 8 types of trams in operation.
1. Type 101 ("Stojadin"). Produced by ZET/ĐĐ Đuro Đaković, Slavonski Brod, Croatia
In service from 1957 (first prototype 30.4.1951). 31 left, disappearing.
2. Type 201 ("Bik"). Produced by Đuro Đaković, Slavonski Brod, Croatia
In service from 22.1.1974. 18 left.
3. Type 301 - ČKD KT4 ("Katica"). Produced by ČKD Praha, Czech Republic
3a. 351 - ČKD KT4, thyristorized
In service from 1985. 51 in operation.
4. Type 401 - ČKD T4 ("Čeh")
Old livery:
New livery:
Often with commercials:
In service from 31.1.1977. 87 in operation.
5. Type 900. Produced by ĐĐ in the 80's. In service from 23.3.1993. There's only one, the prototype. Mass production never happened.
6. Type 901 - Düwag GT6 ("Genšer"). Came from Mannheim (Germany) in the 90's. There are two types. 5 trams called GT6 "Mannheimer" are slightly different (and include airconditioning ) - second picture
15 + 5 left. Disappearing.
7. Type 2100 ("Nova 17"). Produced by Končar (Zagreb, Croatia) from 1994, prototype 2101 (1994.) slightly differs from the rest of the series. These trams derived from the Type 201.
In service from 1994. 16 in operation.
8. Type 2200. Produced by Crotram consortium (Končar + TŽV Gredelj, Zagreb, Croatia).

In service from 2005. Currently 57 in operation (of 140 ordered)
These have been ALL the types used in Zagreb. I haven't mentioned the museum trams and the scrapped prototypes (if there will be an interest, tell me )
The typical tram station in Zagreb looks like this:
Some misc photos:
Two Czechs:
Usual traffic in the city (cars everywhere, disturbing the tram traffic :bash
95% of the tracks in the streets look like this:
Mostly in a good condition, some parts need repairing, though.
The funicular
It is the shortest funicular in the world, connecting the Gornji grad (Upper town) with Ilica St.
Most of the pics are from today
Hope you enjoyed! :cheers:
