List of town tramway systems in Finland


This is a list of town tramway systems in Finland. It includes all tram systems in Finland, past and present; cities with currently operating systems, and those systems themselves, are indicated in bold and blue background colored rows. The use of the diamond symbol indicates where there were two or more independent tram systems operating concurrently within a single metropolitan area. Those tram systems that operated on other than standard gauge track are indicated in the 'Notes' column.
, two systems – Tampere light rail and Jokeri light rail – are under construction, and decision has been made to build one other system: Kruunusillat light rail.
In addition, further research is being conducted on Turku light rail.
There are also early-stage plans of a new tramway in the city of Vantaa.
