Route network

Kjøbenhavns Sporvei-Selskab (KSS) was an operator of tramways in Copenhagen, Denmark.

History

Kjøbenhavns Sporvei-Selskab was founded by C. F. Tietgen in 1865 as a replacement of the UK-owned Copenhagen Railway Company, which had opened Copenhagen's first tram line in 1863 but had been liquidated. It developed into the largest operator of tram lines in the city before it was merged with four other companies under the name De kjøbenhavnske Sporveje on 1 August 1898.
