The centenary trams will be in service on all six routes from 6am to midnight.

In addition, a centenary party will be held at 2.30pm today at Times Square's open piazza, during which the winners of the drawing and photo competitions of the Hong Kong trams centenary will be announced.

Other commemorative events include sets of limited-edition centenary souvenir tickets designed by Ah Chung, special stamps and exhibitions at Times Square and Star Ferry piers.
