[[Tram]]s (streetcars), once common, were retired as a form of public transport in the 1960s but are now in the stages of a slow comeback.
In 1987 a modern [[PreMetro E2 (Buenos Aires)|tram line]] was opened as a feeder for the underground system. A modern [[light rail]] line between the Bartolomé Mitre suburban railway station and Tigre (''[[Tren de la Costa]]'') inaugurated in 1996 operates in the northern suburbs. A 2-kilometre tram known as the [[Tranvía del Este]] (Eastern Tram) was inaugurated 2007 in the [[Puerto Madero]] district of Buenos Aires using loaned French [[Alstom Citadis]] trams,<ref>[http://www.lanacion.com.ar/979883-francia-quiere-una-red-de-tranvias-en-buenos-aires Francia quiere una red de tranvías en Buenos Aires] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150416024829/http://www.lanacion.com.ar/979883-francia-quiere-una-red-de-tranvias-en-buenos-aires |date=2015-04-16 }} - La Nacion, 18 January 2008.</ref> but plans for its extension never came to fruition, and declining patronage led the line's closure in 2012.

Trams were once extremely common in Buenos Aires, with the city having a large 875&nbsp;km [[Trams in Buenos Aires|tramway network]] and the largest tramway-to-population ratio the world, which gained it notoriety as "the city of trams" across the world.<ref name="DonRoss">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20151208120410/http://donsdepot.donrossgroup.net/dr711.htm Trams Of Argentina]}} - Don Ross Group, 7 November 2014.</ref><ref name="elarcadigital">[http://www.elarcadigital.com.ar/modules/revistadigital/articulo.php?id=651 Historia del tranvía en Buenos Aires] {{Webarchive|url=https://archive.today/20150410144246/http://www.elarcadigital.com.ar/modules/revistadigital/articulo.php?id=651 |date=2015-04-10 }} - Revista Digital ead</ref><ref name="El Diario">[http://www.eldiario.es/viajarahora/viaje-historia-ciudad-viejo-Tramway-tranvia-Caballito-Buenos-Aires-Horario-recorrido-telefono-mail-parada-subte-colectivo-transporte-gratis-viajar-guia-barrio-restaurantes-comer-barato_0_368863117.html Un viaje por la historia de la ciudad en el viejo Tramway] - ElDiario.es, 21 March 2015.</ref> The first trams began operating in the 1860s, however by the 1960s the network was dismantled and replaced by buses.<ref>[http://www.busarg.com.ar/agosto06/modelos_leyland.htm Leyland Urbanos en los '60.] - BusARG</ref><ref name="AAT">[http://www.tranvia.org.ar/tranvias/ciudaddebsas.htm APUNTES SOBRE LA HISTORIA DEL TRANVÍA EN BUENOS AIRES] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130728175332/http://www.tranvia.org.ar/tranvias/ciudaddebsas.htm |date=2013-07-28 }} - Biblioteca Popular Federico Lacroze</ref> There is a [[Trams in Buenos Aires#Heritage Tramway|Heritage Tramway]] maintained by enthusiasts that operates a large collection of vintage trams on weekends, near the [[Primera Junta (Buenos Aires Underground)|Primera Junta]] [[Line A (Buenos Aires Underground)|Underground Line A]] station in the [[Caballito]] neighbourhood.<ref>[http://enelsubte.com/noticias/la-aat-celebra-un-festival-los-150-anos-del-tranvia-2715/ La AAT celebra con un festival los 150 años del tranvía] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150518105452/http://enelsubte.com/noticias/la-aat-celebra-un-festival-los-150-anos-del-tranvia-2715/ |date=2015-05-18 }} - EnElSubte, 12 July 2013</ref>
