The Trieste–Opicina tramway is an unusual hybrid tramway and funicular railway in the city of Trieste, Italy. It links Piazza Oberdan, on the northern edge of the city centre, with the village of Villa Opicina in the hills above.The tramway is currently out of use, following an accident in August 2016, with a replacement bus service operating. Reopening of the line has been postponed until February or March 2020,a deadline set by Trieste city council.When in use, for most of the journey the line operates as a conventional, electrically powered tramway, with a mixture of street running and reserved track. On the steepest section of the line, between Piazza Scorcola and Vetta Scorcola, the trams are pushed uphill and braked downhill by a pair of cable tractors that operate on funicular principles.The line forms part of the network of Trieste Trasporti, the public transport provider for Trieste.
