The Osaka Municipal Transportation Bureau was the public transportation department of the city of Osaka, Japan, established on September 12, 1903. Over its 115-year history it operated the city trams from 1903 to 1969, trolleybuses from 1953 to 1970, an eight-line municipal subway network from 1933, city buses, and the New Tram automated line from 1981.
