streetcars in Winnipeg, Canada

Winnipeg had a horse tramcar operation from 1882 to 1894. It was taken over by the Winnipeg Electric Street Railway in 1892, later Winnipeg Electric Railway and Winnipeg Electric Co. from 1924 to 1953, which ran electric streetcars, internal combustion buses from 1918, and electric trolleybuses from 1938.

The system was bought by the City of Winnipeg in 1953 and was renamed the Greater Winnipeg Transit Commission, who oversaw the end of streetcars on 19 September 1955 and trolleybuses in 1970. The Commission was merged into the Metropolitan Corporation of Greater Winnipeg from 1961 until 1972 when the amalgamated City of Winnipeg absorbed both entities under the current name of Winnipeg Transit.
