6:50 Heritage tram line 3
10:22 Technology museum
11:09 Outro
The city of Bergen, located near the west coast of Norway, got an electric tram in 1897, which was extended in the following years. Though, after the second world war, it couldn't keep up with the rapid growth of the city and the increasing car traffic: The last tram ran in 1965.
In the last few years, starting at the Technology museum in the old Møhlenpris tram depot, a heritage tram line 3 was built. It is mostly served by "Reko" cars, which were bought from Berlin in the 1990s. After countless hours of volunteer work, the line will connect the museum and other attractions to the city center.
In 2010, a new light rail line was opened, connecting the city center to the southern suburbs and the airport. The network is being continually expanded, with a second line opening in 2022. The light rail is served exclusively by trams of the "Variobahn" type.

At 10:58 shows the old trolleybus on linie 5 which was going from the city centre up to Möhlenpris. Have ride on this in the 70th's and even the other trolleybus linie 2 which still goes.
