Trams of Munich, Germany (2011)The Munich tramway is the tramway network for the city of Munich in Germany. Today, it is operated by the municipally owned Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft (the Munich Transport Company, or MVG) and is known officially and colloquially as the Tram. Previous operators have included Société Anonyme des Tramways de Munich, the Münchner Trambahn-Aktiengesellschaft, the Städtische Straßenbahnen, and the Straßenbahn München.
The tram network interconnects with the MVG's bus network, the Munich U-Bahn, and the Munich S-Bahn, all of which use a standard tariff as part of the Münchner Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (Munich Transport and Tariff Association, or MVV) transit area.
The daytime tram network comprises eleven lines and is 75 kilometres (47 mi) long with 155 stops. There is also a night tram service with four routes. The network is operated by 95 trams and transported 98 million people in 2010.By Timosha21 - .
