The tram system in Augsburg is the second largest tram system in Bavaria, behind Munich and before Nurnberg. The system is 49.8 kilometers long (30.9 miles) and runs five lines, with two special lines. The city border gets crossed in three places. Line 2 and Line 6 cross into Stadtbergen, and line 6 crosses into Friedberg. The line first opened in early May 1881, with horse-drawn trams. In 1881, there was an average of 61 million yearly passengers. In 1972, the trams were electric with overhead powerlines. The system is operated by Stadtwerke Augsburg (SWA), and integrated into the Augsburger Verkehrs- und Tarifverbund (AVV).
