The Johannsessbuurg Tram (Crandan: Stadstram fonn Johannsessbuurg) is the principal public transit system of Johannsessbuurg, capital of the Free Duchy of Anglien. The system is administered by the Municipal Transit Authority of Johannsessbuurg.

The original five-line network was constructed between 1731 AN and 1747 AN under the Lac Glaceian cantonal authority's urban-planning program. At its pre-occupation maximum, the network comprised approximately 58 kilometers of 1,000 mm gauge double track radiating from the central railway terminus and serving all six districts of the city. The system was suspended in late 1752 AN after the Nü Krantisk Rapskaff seized power. Rolling stock was destroyed or seized, with several trams pressed into use as NKR armored carriers, and the overhead-line and trackwork infrastructure suffered varying damage during the 1753 AN–1754 AN blockade and bombing campaign.

By late 1755 AN, three of the original five lines (Lines 1, 2, and 3) had been returned to operational status as part of the post-Charter reconstruction program, comprising approximately 36 kilometers of operational double track. Line 4 (Engelpoort — Western Buitenstad), which crosses the Klars at the Pakhuisbrugge, is scheduled for restoration in II.1756 AN pending completion of trackwork repairs in the lower Pakhuisstad. Line 5 (Plein fonn Versoening — Southern Buitenstad), which sustained heavy damage during the siege, is scheduled for restoration in late 1756 AN or early 1757 AN pending the parallel rebuilding of the southern Buitenstad housing stock.

Rolling stock comprises approximately 18 restored Lac Glaceian-era heritage trams, nicknamed De Klassiekers for their cream-and-blue livery and varnished wooden interior fittings, alongside approximately 14 modern trams from a Vegnan rolling-stock manufacturer. A further fleet order of 22 modern trams from Aerlan and New Alexandrian manufacturers is scheduled for delivery between 1756 AN and 1758 AN in support of full network restoration and a planned new Line 6 connecting the central railway terminus to the Johannsessbuurg International Airport.
