EsTram (Eskişehir Tramvay) is a tram network in Eskişehir, Turkey, owned by the Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality. The system operates Bombardier Flexity Outlook and Škoda ForCity^[2] low-floor articulated light-rail trams.^{[citation needed]}

Construction began in August 2002 and operation of the first phase commenced on 24 December 2004 with a total length of 15 kilometers (9.3 mi)^[3] and two main lines, Otogar–SSK and Opera–Osmangazi University.^[4] The EsTram network is designed to carry passengers at a top speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) in mixed traffic.^{[citation needed]}
