It currently consists of 139.9 km, 2 lines and 14 km of which includes light rail first opened in 1978. However, the track length appears to be decreasing each day. According to this tramscape.com report, many of Kiev's trams are disappearing, with the only ones promoted being the high speed LRT style lines. Currently, there are three such lines on about 14 km of track. Like the metro, Kiev was about to receive new rolling stock but unfortunately the plans fell through. It currently has 26 lines. Kiev's route 12 in Pusha-Voditsa, a "garden city" with lakeside picnic areas, is known to be a "beautiful ride", including street and roadside operation, with several kilometers on private ROW through a forest. During Soviet times, there were plans to build an underground LRT but the plans have disappeared along with Joe Stalin. Update: On June 9, 2004, without warning, the Paton Bridge tramway, which in essence linked the east and west networks, suddenly closed.  As soon as the last tram crossed the bridge,  workers began tearing up the streets and removing the rail. All this occurred without warning or public notice. However, rumor has it that the tramway was carrying unauthorized literature and was in reality an enemy of the State.
