The length of the tracks in single track is 63 km. In topological terms, the network is centralized both within residential areas of the city and outside of them, with many kilometers of departure lines leading to significantly remote industrial site and river station.

A significant part of the routes, including part of the lines within the residential areas and all the departure lines, are marked out and not in the center, but on the side of the highways. Due to this, as well as a considerable length of departure lines with non-stop traffic and a number of junctions on highways, in many parts of the speed of movement and the whole system as a whole is close to the high-speed tram .

There is one depot and a small supporting fleet.

In connection with the large-scale development of new microdistricts of Nizhnekamsk, industrial construction, the issue of the development of a socially-oriented transport scheme of the city is particularly relevant. One of the best solutions is the construction of a new tram line on South Street.

The total length of the tramway line is 3.9 km (including: 0.8 km along Prospekt Stroiteley and 3.1 km along Prospect Mira to Yuzhnaya St.).

The total estimated cost of construction is 252 million rubles, including the cost:

• design work - 2 million rubles.
• construction of modular traction substation number 15 - 50 million rubles.
• construction of the tram track and contact network - 154.6 million rubles.
• acquisitions of 3 trams - 45 million rubles.

As a result of the construction of the new line, it will be possible to organize new routes:

• South - Forest - South
• South - Red Key - South
• South - OJSC NKSH - South
• South - DEPOT - South
