===Rails=== The city of Maputo lies at the end of three railway lines: [[Goba railway]], [[Limpopo railway]] and [[Pretoria–Maputo railway]].<ref name="Atlassian">[https://dlca.logcluster.org/display/public/DLCA/2.4+Mozambique+Railway+Assessment Mozambique Logistics Infrastructure: Mozambique Railway Assessment] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210802142842/https://dlca.logcluster.org/display/public/DLCA/2.4+Mozambique+Railway+Assessment |date=2021-08-02 }}. Atlassian Confluence. 10 de dezembro de 2018.</ref> ====Trams==== Maputo was home to one of the first electric tramway systems in Africa, commencing in February 1904.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://ehgarde.planetaclix.pt/mocambique/eletricos/tramlm.htm|title=Tramways Eléctricos de Lourenço Marques|website=ehgarde.planetaclix.pt|access-date=2010-12-19|archive-date=2020-08-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803212305/http://ehgarde.planetaclix.pt/mocambique/eletricos/tramlm.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> At first the lines ran from the Central Railway Station (CFM) to the City Municipality building. It is said{{by whom|date=April 2016}} that the establishment of the tram system caused some protests from the general public as certain classes had limited access to its use. Trams lost favor in the second half of the 20th century as cars and buses became more common, and they have not been in use at all since 1936, although parts of some of the tracks can still be seen coming up through the tar in certain streets, like Av. 24 de Julho.{{Citation needed|date=July 2022}}
