The Novokuznetsk tram system consists of two independent networks that have never been connected to each other: one network operates only in the Zavodskoy district and is represented by a single route No. 10, the other network operates in the Kuznetsky, Kuibyshevsky, Ordzhonikidzevsky and Central districts of the city.
