New Plymouth City Transport (originally known as New Plymouth Tramways) was a council-owned public transport operator in New Plymouth, New Zealand. It was established in 1916 with the opening of the borough’s electric tramway system and remained in operation for 75 years.
The system went through several transitions: electric trams (1916–1954), trolleybuses (1950–1967), and a succession of battery-electric, petrol and diesel powered buses from the 1920s through to the early 1990s. In 1991, regulatory changes required the council to divest its bus services, and the operation was sold to Gold Star Bus Lines, ending direct municipal involvement in public transport.
