History

In 1893, the City Council of Białystok signed a contract with Leontiy Feldzer to operate the first city's horse tram. In 1895 the first carts set off from the railway station through Lipowa Street to Świętojańska Street. During World War I stables and tram carriages burnt down, the liquidation of tram tracks from the city area began.

In 1922 the Tram Society in Białystok was established, at the same time, a project of building an electric tram was created. It was never completed.
