The city of Liberec is one of the seven cities in the Czech Republic where tram transport is present. The tram system is conjoined with an interurban tramway branch to Jablonec nad Nisou. It is operated by Dopravní podnik měst Liberce a Jablonce nad Nisou, a.s. The track system is approximately 21.5 km (13.4 mi) long with the branch between Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou measuring around 13 km (8 mi).

Narrow-gauge tracks were used since inception of the system in 1898 and a part of the network was decommissioned in the 1960s. A gradual reconstruction of the city line took place in the 1990s, where tracks were reconstructed to standard-gauge railway.

The branch between Liberec and Jablonec nad Nisou was out of service since July 2021 to May 2024 for upgrading and regauging to bring the network to an all standard-gauge track. It reopened on May 1 2024.[1]
