Nanjing will build its first modern tram line in time for the Youth Olympics in 2014, according to local news reports. This follows an announcement in June by Nanjing Metro that it planned to build a tram line that would connect with the No.2 Metro line at Maqun Station. No further details were given.

Nanjing had four tram lines in the 1960s, but got rid of them in mid-1990s.
