A replica of an old electric tram today drove the lap of honor around the center of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the occasion of the upcoming Days of the Sarajevo Canton.
The event was organized by the Ministry of Transportation of the Sarajevo Canton and the Cantonal Public Utility Company Gras, and the tram drove on the shortest Sarajevo route number 1, from the Railway station to Baščaršija.
“This tram car is used for celebrations, for the day of Gras and the days of the Sarajevo Canton. Two years ago, this tram operated every day between 10 a.m. and 12 a.m. and between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., but we do not know if that will be the case this year. I can say that the citizens are satisfied and surprised with the appearance of this tram, because for many of them this is the first time to see it on the streets,” said the tram driver Salih Mašmić.
This is an electric tram which started operating on the historical May 1, 1895, thus marking the beginning of modern public transportation in the capital of BiH.
The event Days of the Sarajevo Canton is again rich in cultural events such as the exhibition “The famous people of Sarajevo”, the opera “Don Giovanni” and film screenings “Drifters and dogs”, “The Sarajevo dog” and “The Planet Sarajevo”, as well as other events. Events will also be held in the war Tunnel of Hope D-B.
