tram line. The first line, with a length of , opened on June 15, 1928. In 1940, the city began to expand the tram network, with plans to merge with the
tram network
Makiivka. However, the
German invasion of Soviet Union in June 1941 cut off this plan, and it never materialized. During the
German-Soviet War, the trams in the city were used mainly for economic purposes, including transport of different goods. However, the system suffered much destruction as a result of wartime bombing. The system was rebuilt soon after the war ended. In the 1950s, the authorities made a series of changes to the tram system, including building an extension line to a newly built cotton factory. == Gallery ==
