The Launceston Municipal Tramways (LMT), started with the building of the tramway in 1910/11.
The new trams were very successful up to the outbreak of the Great Depression.
By the 1930s, the LMT trams dominated the city’s public transport system.
When war ended in 1945, buses were starting to make an impact in the LMT fleet.
By 1951 the LMT briefly could offer the public three types of vehicles, trams, trolley buses and buses.
The end of the LMT came in 1955 when it was taken over by the State Government and became part of the Metropolitan Transport Trust.
