East India Tramway Company
The "East India Tramway Company" was formed in 1884 to provide a tramway service in Karachi (now in Pakistan).
The Karachi Steam Tramway was opened to the port on April 20, 1885, and was replaced with a horse tramway a year later. In 1909 the horse trams were replaced with distinctive-looking petrol cars. There were 64 of these in service in 1955 when the company celebrated its 70th Anniversary. The petrol trams continued in service until April 30, 1975.
