Bosnia and Herzegovina: New trams to arrive in Sarajevo after 40 years

New highly functional and modern trams have arrived in Sarajevo 40 years after they were last replaced thanks to an initiative of the Government of Sarajevo Canton, supported by the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and other donors. With a capacity of 79 seats in each unit, these custom-made trams are designed to accommodate 180 passengers and ensure comfortable travel experience for all commuters. The EIB is providing €75 million in financing to support this project, which will also upgrade and extend the tram and trolley bus networks by replacing existing vehicles and building new tramlines and tracks.
