Line 1 will see the revival of the vintage tram, based on the bus service from Bucharest. The tram will run every day for five weeks, from Saturday, July 23, 2022, to Sunday, August 20, 2022. Participants get a return trip on the Depoul Dudesti-Bd route. Banu Manta-Depoul Dudesti without stopping at stations. The trip lasts approximately two hours and includes stories and histories about the route, which are supported by Anita Stere/ Ioana Popa.
