Tram Network Infrastructure
Tram tracks extend from the railway station (which is located in eastern part of the city) to the western outskirts of the city, through the center. Track gauge is 1000 mm.
- With the exception of a segment between a bridge over the South Bug river, following Sobornaya street, most trams lines are on reserved track. Due to this the average speed of trams is higher than that of buses, trolleybuses and other transport sharing the road.
- The main hub is located at Gagarin square.
- During the last years track improvements took place. They were done according the European «noiseless tram» technology, reducing noise substantially.
- As per 2011 tracks are in good condition.
- The tram depot is located near the crossing of Khmelnitskoe Parkway, and Revolutionary Street.
- In summer 2008 construction of a new tram line began. The line was supposed to link Barske Parkway and Vishenka terminals. As per end of 2011 work on this extension is suspended.
