In an effort to reduce air pollution and car traffic in the city, a multi-line tram network called ''Tramvia'' is under construction. The first line began operation on 14 February 2010 and connects Florence's primary intercity railway station ([[Firenze Santa Maria Novella railway station|Santa Maria Novella]]) with the southwestern suburb of [[Scandicci]]. This line is {{convert|7.4|km|mi|frac=16|abbr=on}} long and has 14 stops. The construction of a second line began on 5 November 2011, construction was stopped due to contractors' difficulties and restarted in 2014 with the new line opening on 11 February 2019. This second line connects Florence's airport with the city centre. A third line (from [[Firenze Santa Maria Novella railway station|Santa Maria Novella]] to the Careggi area, where the most important hospitals of Florence are located) is also under construction.<ref>{{cite web |title=Arriva La Tramvia (in Italian) |url=http://www.gestramvia.it/home.html |publisher=GEST |access-date=11 December 2011 |archive-date=8 October 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131008000903/http://www.gestramvia.it/home.html |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comune.firenze.it/opencms/export/sites/retecivica/amm/piani_e_progetti/Tramvia.html |title=Tramvia – Il Sistema Tramviario Fiorentino |access-date=11 December 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120202152941/http://www.comune.firenze.it/opencms/export/sites/retecivica/amm/piani_e_progetti/Tramvia.html |archive-date=2 February 2012}}, Tramvia page of Florence's city government web site (in Italian).</ref><ref>[[Trams in Florence]], Wikipedia article "Florence tramway"</ref>{{circular reference|date=August 2020}}
