Comment
The Turku tramway network was the first—and as of 2008, second to last—tram system to be operated in Finland. It was operated as horse tramway from 1890/1892 ti 1907, and as an electrified tramway from 1908 until 1972. Prior to 1919 the tram system was owned by private interests, and from that year onwards by Turku until closure of the system.Åbo is the Swedish name for Turku. The company TURUN RAITIOTIET operated from 1890–1907 (when the local electricity company took over the network). In Finnish, the genitive of Turku is Turun, meaning "of Turku".
