STREETCARS
Newman Transit has a fleet of 103 streetcars built by the Czech company ČKD Tatra from 1975 to 1997. These were purchased from a Slovakian tram operator in 1996, who was finding streetcar services unprofitable. All are equipped with the BUSE information system, with the exception of Tatra T3 2041-2042 and KT8D5 2114 and a majority have been equipped with air conditioning. A majority of the cars run in pairs of two.
