The transformation of the city has concentrated on improving communications aimed raising living standards, but ever-mindful of our past. So it was that in 1872, and acquiring the name of tranvĂa de sangre (blood tram), the animal-drawn tram was the first tramway line to begin operation in Greater Bilbao. Regular service ran between Bilbao and the town of Getxo, located on the Right bank of the river, until 1964.
