The Kryvyi Rih tramway network is part of the public transport system of Kryvyi Rih, city in Ukraine. The tram network serves as the backbone of the transit system, serving as part of the Kryvyi Rih Metrotram system.
In operation since 1935, the Kryvyi Rih tram network is one of world's largest tram networks, operating on 105.8 kilometres of total route.[citation needed] As of 2014, it was composed of 13 lines and the Kryvyi Rih Metrotram.

The Kryvyi Rih public transport system, except for taxi, uses a simple flat rate tariff system regardless of distance traveled: tickets or tokens must be purchased each time a vehicle is boarded. Discount passes are available for grade school and higher education students. Pensioners use public transportation free. Ticket prices are regulated by the city government, and the cost of one ride is far lower than in Western Europe.
