Tatra tram in Odessa

As of the middle 2011, trams are one of the basic types of public transportation in the city of Odessa, Ukraine. Odessa is served by 19 regular, and 5 non-regular, tram routes. Electric trams have been operating in Odessa since 1910.^[1]

The tram network is laid along mainline streets from the city center, serving as a convenient connection with the more outward neighborhoods of Odessa. System facts are:

As of early 2011, Odessa has 210 Tatra T3 tramcars, 106 of them having been modernized.
In 2006, К-1 tramcars started to be delivered. They are manufactured on Yuzhmash plant in Dnepropetrovsk. There are also Tatra-Yug trams, manufactured there.
For heritage purposes, there is one pseudo-Nievelles retro tram, which was made out of MTV-82 tram.
The Odessa Tram Network is served by two depots. One is located near the railway station, the other is located in Slobodka (in the western part of the city). A service tram depot (located near "Tovarnaja" station) used to house some of the passenger service routes 1996, but it now houses only service trams.
