Melbourne Metropolitan Tramways Board Took over the existing tram system from 1st November 1919 and lasted until 30th June 1983
The MMTB was succeeded by the Public Transport Corp. then Yarra Trams. See my Yarra Trams page for some current photos.
Melbourne has had trams since 1855. There is a good site Melbourne's Tram History for more information
