Inethiwekhi ye Iitram zeBasel yinxalenye yothungelwano lothutho lukawonkewonke olusebenza eBasel, eSwitzerland, kunye neenkanti zayo ezimbini ezinxulumene noko. Yenziwe yimigca eli-13. Ngenxa yobude bayo (inethiwekhi ngoku ingaphezulu kwenkulungwane ubudala), iyinxalenye yelifa leBasel, kwaye, kunye neBasel Cathedral, yenye yeempawu zesixeko.
Iitramu kwinethiwekhi zisebenza ngababoneleli bezothutho ababini: iBasler Verkehrs-Betriebe (Inkonzo yezoThutho yaseBasel) (BVB) kunye neBaselland yezoThutho (BLT).
I-BVB yeyabanini kwaye isebenza eBasel-Stadt, ikanton encinci eneziko ledolophu. Iitram zayo eziluhlaza zisebenza ikakhulu esixekweni, nangona iziphelo zemigca yesi-3 neyesithandathu zikwinkanti yasemaphandleni ngakumbi yeBasel-Land.
I-BLT yeyabanini be-Basel-Land, kwaye iitram zayo ezimthubi nobomvu zisebenza kumadlelo asezantsi eBasel. Nangona kunjalo, le mizila mithathu iyasebenza, imigca ye-10, ye-11 neye-17, zonke zibaleka kwindlela ye-BVB embindini weBasel. Kumgca we-14 Kananjalo, nangona ungumnini we-BLT, iqhutywa yi-BVB nokuba ikwi-Basel-Land.
Umgca wokuqala womnatha we-Basel tram uvulwe nge-6 kaMeyi, ngo-1895. Yalandela iCentralbahnhof-Marktplatz-Mittlere Brücke-Aeschenplatz-Badischer Bahnhof.
Inethiwekhi yakhula ngokukhawuleza. Ngo-1897, amacandelo amathandathu amatsha afakwa kwinkonzo, kudityaniswa iBasel neBirsfelden.
Ukusukela ngaloo nyaka kude kube ngo-1936, ubuncinci icandelo elinye lenethiwekhi lilungiswa minyaka le. Ngo-1934, emva kokuvulwa kwecandelo elitsha leMargarethenstr. ukuya eBinningen, inethiwekhi yafikelela kubude obude be-72 km (i-45 yeemayile).
Ngexesha leemfazwe ezimbini zehlabathi, iinkonzo zanqunyanyiswa kumacandelo omda odlulela ngaphaya kwemida yaseSwitzerland. Emva kweMfazwe yesibini (II) yeHlabathi, imigca eliqela yavalwa. Ngo-1958, ubude bebonke betrekhi yenethiwekhi yayiyi-51,7 km (32,1 yeemayile).
Kwi-1974, iinkampani ezahlukeneyo ezazisebenza kwimigca yeedolophu zadityaniswa ukuze zenze inkampani entsha phantsi kwegama iBaselland Transport AG (BLT).
