Trams in Istanbul date back to 1872, when they were horse-drawn, but even the first electrified trams were decommissioned in the 1960s. Operated by Istanbul Electricity, Tramway, and Tunnel (IETT), trams slowly returned to Istanbul in the 1990s with the introduction of a nostalgic route and a faster modern tram line, which now carries 265,000 passengers each day (see istanbul tram map).
