1908年3月5日,随着公共租界的1路有轨电车开始在静安寺与外滩上海总会间正式运营,标志着与近代工业社会相适应的全新的公共交通方式在上海诞生。以轿子、黄包车、马车等为代表的传统的个体交通工具开始逐渐为电车、公共汽车等现代化、社会化、大众化的公共交通工具所代替。公共交通方式的这种转变,不仅是单纯生产力意义上的变革,更对市民生活方式与社会观念带来了前所未有的影响。 On March 5, 1908, with the commencement of the operation of Tram No. 1 in the International Settlement and the official operation of Jing’an Temple and Shanghai Bund, it marked the birth of a brand new public transport system that suited modern industrial society in Shanghai. The traditional individual transport represented by sedan chair, rickshaw, carriage and so on are gradually replaced by modernized, socialized and popular public transport such as tram and bus. This shift in public transport is not only a change in the sense of mere productivity, but also has an unprecedented impact on the way of life and social values ​​of citizens.
