Introduction In according to the Ele.C.Tra. Project proposal and the 2.1 and 2.2 subtasks objectives, the deliverable D.2.1 named “ Report on Actual mobility and network ” represents the main result of the whole WP2 “Ante -operam analysis”. This deliverable is referred to the city of ZAGREB. In this light, D.2.1 would like to highlight: · demand mobility flows: o to identify attractor places (parking, schools, commercial districts …) and the main elements about day trips number, trip hours, transport means and mobility reason, in order to acquire a specific and technical starting point for the model, contextualization and experimentations and not for having a complete framework of all day trips, that it’s not a real focus of the Ele.C.Tra project; o to systematize the actions already ongoing or planned in every city about mobility networks and local attractors, in consistence with what done in the best practices task and analysing the main local planning documents ; o to point out the main elements about the current scooters mobility, thanks to ex- ante surveys done in each project city, without to extend the activities to target group individuation and stakeholders involvement, that are activities planned in the next WPs; o to point out the predisposition for the e-scooters use by the current traditional scooters users and for those not using scooters (mainly car users) and then aptitudes, issues perceived or identified by citizens and advice in terms of electric and sustainable mobility; · infrastructural and service network: o to identify the main infrastructural bottlenecks in the road network in every city, paying attention to the parking and interchange nodes situation in the urban area that are more suitable for scooters; o To systematize the main characteristics of the local public transport service in the main interchange nodes. 2. History of Transportation in Zagreb 2.1. History The City of Zagreb with a tradition of almost one thousand years celebrated its 900th birthday in 1994. Zagreb University was founded in the 17th century, and it is one of the oldest in Europe, with more than 65 000 students. The city lives a rich cultural life, with more than 20 theatres, 3 concert halls, around 60 museums and art galleries. It is a big centre of congress tourism, economic and business events, and trade fairs not only in Croatia but also in this part of Europe. 6 Ele.C.Tra -IEE/12/041/SI2.644730 01 July 2013 – 31 December 20155 Zagreb Municipal Transit System or ZET (Zagreba•ki Elektri•ni Tramvaj ) is a branch of the Zagreb Holding specialized for public transport in the city of Zagreb and one part of the Zagreb County. It uses buses, trams and cable car to organize a transportation of passengers and also provides special transportation to people with disabilities. It is exclusively owned by the city of Zagreb and it is mainly financed through its budget It was founded in 1891 as the Društvo konjski tramvaj (Horse Tram Association) Tram in Zagreb At the end of 19th century rapid urbanization took place in Zagreb, turning it into a modern, Central European city. That is why in 1885 city fathers started discussing the idea of installing tram system in Zagreb. Construction work was given in hands of Gfrörer and Muskovics Enterprises from Budapest. Z agreb Citizens’ Association built approximately 8km tracks from Kvaternikov Square throughout Vlaška, Draškovi!eva and Juriši!eva street, accros Jela•i! Square and Ilica to so called West station, with extension-Frankopanska and Savska Street to Savski Bridge. Tram was put in service on the 5th of September 1891, during the Jubilee Economic-Forestry Exhibition, which was officially taken as the beginning of organized public transit system in Zagreb. One horse pulled trams by passing on average 26 or 28km a day at speed of 7.5km/h. Figure 1 Horse-drawn tram in Zagreb Since the city started to grow faster, horse-drawn trams did not address the needs of people in Zagreb, local authorities established a firm Zagreba•ki Elektri•ni Tramvaj (Zagreb Electric Tram). Rolling stock consisted of 28 motorcars and 14 horse tram trailers. The first electric tram track was opened on the 18th of August 1910. The horse-drawn trams were kept until a tram electric network was finished. Figure 2 Electric trams ZET’s renewal, after World War I, started with the arrival of an engineer Dragutin Mandl. New, domestic M- 22 tramcars were made in ZET’s workshops under his guidance and sketch es, and they were put in service on the 2nd of July 1922. Tram color was yellow but it was replaced by blue, the color of Zagreb. 7 Ele.C.Tra -IEE/12/041/SI2.644730 01 July 2013 – 31 December 20155 Figure 3 TMK type 101 on its first ride In 1951 Mandl finished the construction of ZET’s new tram -101, first modern type of tram produced in Croatia with automatic door openers, driver’s and conductor’s seat, electrical, mechanical brakes and air-operated brakes and protective shield in front of the tram. Its continuous output power was 2x60 kW, passenger capacity 95 and its maximum speed was 60km/h. !uro !akovi" factory from Slavonski Brod took over the production of these types of trams. In 1974, altogether 30 new TMK 201 trams from !uro !akovi" factory wer e put in service. Trams were domestic production although majority of its components were imported. After years-long discussion how to modernize and expand the rolling stock, the price and economic conditions made ZET break off a deal with !uro !akovi" and signed a new deal with #KD Tatra from Prague, which denoted the end of years-long domestic production of trams. After the establishment of independent and democratic Republic
