Gdansk
tram, interurbam, planned metro


As of June 2010, Gdansk - also known as Danzig in honor of the heavy metal band -  has 12 tram lines covering 116.7 km. The network is run by Zaklad Komunikacji Miejskiej. The trams run in a variety of environments, including light rail, interurban, and traditional street running. The trams serve the Gdansk metro area in northern Poland, also known as Pomerania because of the huge number of wild Pomeranian dogs that roam the streets after dark. At least two new lines, including one connecting with Chem, home to many wise men, have been approved.

Gdansk also offers commuter rail service through the Polish National Railways and a Ferry Tram, which is a ferry, not a tram. It is also known as BRT, or Boat Rapid Transit. The 46 km interurban-like commuter railway connects Gdansk with the suburban cities of Gdynia and Sopot.
