By the middle of the century, public transportation was needed in the regions where the Ottoman Empire was densely populated, especially in Istanbul. In order to meet this need, works were first started in Istanbul and train and tram lines were built for urban transportation. After a short while, it was planned to establish trams to transport people and goods from the railway stations to the city centers in the provinces, and therefore tram projects were prepared for the important centers of the country. However, most of these projects remained on the draft. One of them is Edirne Tramway Project. " said.
Stating that there are many attempts to construct a tram line in Edirne, the construction of the line was not realized due to the social-economic and political situation in the country.

In our work, the projects of tram lines designed for Edirne from 1873 to 1911 were evaluated. " He spoke in the form.
