After that, there were also some commercial attempts on establishing European trams in other European countries and American countries as well as Russian countries such as the Budapest city of Hungary, the Toronto city of Canada as well as the St. Petersburg of Russia. Besides, the Budapest city of Hungary set up the first electric vehicle system in 1887, and the Richmond of the Virginia in America opened European trams in 1888.
