The Metropolitan Tram and Investment Company constructed a number of horse-drawn tram routes from 1885, including one to West End in 1888. The tram company also began running feeder horse ‘buses to tram lines despite the complaints of existing operators who couldn’t offer the same combined ticket with the tram. Electric trams were introduced in 1897. The West End line was amongst the first electrified. As tram routes were established and extended, many omnibus lines closed down, and homes close to tram routes became more sought after.

I still find it incredible that beneath the monument was hollowed out to make a Metro Station!

The Brisbane tramway network served the city of Brisbane, Australia, between 1885 and 1969. It ran on a standard gauge track. The electric system was originally energised to 500 volts and subsequently increased to 600 volts. All tramcars built in Brisbane up to 1938 had an open design. This proved so popular, especially on hot summer nights, that the trams were used as fundraisers and often chartered right up until the last service by social groups.[1] Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trams_in_Brisbane
