1904年，電車通車，路線是由堅尼地城至筲箕灣。初期為單層，到1912年，開始在車頂加裝座位，到1925年再改為目前所見的密封式車廂。往東區的電車早期是行經電器道的。到1930年代，天后廟一帶山崗被夷平，電車便改行英皇道。
日治時期，電車曾因燃料缺乏而停駛。
1965年，部分電車附有一輛拖卡，常因阻礙交通而於1982年被撤銷。
Tramway, C.1950
In 1904, the tram service started in Hong Kong, from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. All tramcars were single-deckers, from 1912 onwards, seats added on the rooftops of the trams. The closed tram compartment with fitted windows that we see today has been used since 1925.
1930s, hills at the Tin Hau area were removed, then trams going towards North Point began passing through King's Road instead of passing Electric Road.
During the Japanese Occupation, the tram services were stopped completely due to the shortage of fuel.
In 1965, there were trams that had a single-deck trailer behind. In 1982, the trailers were cancelled as they often caused traffic jams. ■鄭寶鴻 香港歷史博物館名譽顧問
