EsTram (Eskişehir Tramvay) is a tram network in Eskişehir, Turkey, owned by the Eskişehir Metropolitan Municipality. The system operates Bombardier Flexity Outlook and Škoda ForCity[2][4] low-floor articulated light-rail trams.[citation needed]

The groundbreaking ceremony of the network was held on June 20, 2002,[5] and operation of the first phase commenced on 24 December 2004 with a total length of 15 kilometers (9.3 mi)[3] and two main lines, Otogar–SSK and Opera–Osmangazi University.[6] The EsTram network is designed to carry passengers at a top speed of 50 km/h (31 mph) in mixed traffic.[citation needed]

In 2014, the second phase was completed with four extensions to the network.[3][7] The newly added lines were Emek–71 Evler, Batıkent–SSK (ring), Çamlıca–SSK (ring) and Çankaya–Osmangazi University (ring). The Emek–71 Evler line was later extended by 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) on March 10, 2019, to reach the city hospital.[8]

The third phase was completed in 2021 when the 75. Yıl–Sultandere and City Hospital–Kumlubel extensions were opened on 12 March[9] and 14 June[10] respectively. Service on line 36 (Otogar–Osmangazi University) (via Opera station) began on January 6, 2025.[11] As of 2025, the system has nine lines.[3][12]
