Yarra Trams is the trading name of the Melbourne tram network, which is owned by VicTrack and which is leased to Yarra Trams by Public Transport Victoria on behalf of the Victorian State Government. The current franchise is operated by Keolis Downer. As at May 2014, Yarra Trams operate 487 trams, across 26 tram routes and a free City Circle tourist tram, over 1,763 tram stops. With 250km (155.3mi) of double track, Melbourne's tram network is the largest in the world.
In 2012/13 182.7 million journeys were taken on Melbourne's trams, with trams travelling more than 24.8 million kilometres annually. Each week Yarra Trams operates 31,400 scheduled tram services, which results in trams operating for approximately 20 hours per day and a team of 24-hour operations staff completing network maintenance and cleaning.
History
1997 – 2002
Yarra Trams was established in October 1997 when Met Tram was split into two business units in preparation for privatisation of the Public Transport Corporation. In August 1999, Transdev TSL commenced operating the Yarra Trams franchise.
Suele suceder que sales a la calle y te acuchillan sonrientes Por que no inclinaste demasiado la cabeza a la altura de sus pies. Suele suceder que miras tu nombre en una libreta de policía, Esperando el turno de ser llevado al tribunal de los jueces sordomudos, Y ellos te miran y hacen gestos de asco, Te reconocen muerto, ah! Y lloran el gozo incomparable de tu entierro. Por que hombres como tu, que no saben guardarse las palabras, Que desconocen el protocolo del estiércol, Que desnudan en plena calle la voz y el pensamiento, No deben ir así a paso tan seguro. Suele suceder que alzas tu mano pidiendo la palabra Y te tragan los dedos. Suele suceder que al saludar olvidaste el sombrero Y la cabeza rueda por el suelo, ah! Y te declaran invalido honorario, y te declaran invalido honorario. Por que hombres como tu pueden ser espías de sustantivos, Prestidigitadores de artículos y verbos, Herejes del poder, cismáticos del orden impuesto, Y gente así solo merece un tiro en la frente, Para después levantarle un monumento. Suele suceder que te llamen amigo en el mercado Mientras te ponen precio, o te lleven atado por la plaza A divertir a algún estúpido monarca. Suele suceder que todos se rían en tu cara, Subasten tus cadenas y tus lagrimas, brinden en tu honor, Y a carcajadas se repartan la túnica y el manto, Y mucho más allá de la sangre de tus hermanos Alguien se lave las manos, Mientras otro se encargue de ponerte los clavos. Porque hombres como tu, que olvidaron las cifras y los vicios, Que no tienen secretos, ni cuentas corrientes en el extranjero, Ni amigos influyentes en ningún ministerio, Siempre pueden ser sujetos muy peligrosos Y gente así solo merece un tiro en la frente Para después levantarle un monumento. Y gente así solo merece un tiro en la frente Para después levantarle un monumento.
