5 unusual facts about Municipal Tramways Trust


Municipal Tramways Trust

The Municipal Tramways Trust (MTT) was established in 1907 to operate Adelaide's street tram network.

The STA was renamed TransAdelaide as part of the state government's privatisation programme of the 1990s and is now limited to operating Adelaide's tram and train services.

The MTT ceased to exist in 1975 upon the establishment of the State Transport Authority (STA) Bus and Tram Division.

In 1975 the services of the MTT became the Bus and Tram division of the State Transport Authority (STA).

The Adelaide-Glenelg railway was taken over by the MTT and in 1929 was turned into an electric tramway.
