Skripsi ini membahas transportasi massal kota Jakarta yaitu trem yang sudah beroperasi di tiga masa pemerintahan, mulai dari pemerintahan Hindia Belanda, Jepang hingga Republik Indonesia. Transportasi trem dijalankan demi memenuhi kebutuhan kota, seperti memobilisasi warga atau mempermudah kegiatan perekonomian. Trem yang sudah beroperasi sejak 1869 itu harus dihentikan pengoperasiannya pada masa pemerintahan Indonesia. Presiden Sukarno menganggap trem terlalu kuno dan tidak pantas untuk kota Jakarta. Setelah trem dihapuskan, bus-bus pun menggantikan peranannya dalam melayani warga Jakarta.
