The story
The Szeged Transport Ltd. was established in 1885. The first tramways were launched on October 1, 1908.
After the First World War the tramway transport, both the public transport from 1920, and the freight transport from 1925, declined steadily in Szeged.
No major operations or clashes occurred in Szeged during World War II, therefore the tram network was not damaged.
The importance of the freight transport continued to decline in the 1950s, and in 1971 it ceased to exist.
On April 29, 1979, first trolleybus started service on line 5, linking Újszged, city centre and Bartók square.
Then other lines alsó were launched: line 6 in 1982, line 7 (not the same as line 7 nowadays) and line 8 in 1983 and line 9 in 1985.
After 1990 the SZKT became the property of Szeged.
