Since the 2000s there was only one line—Line No. 54—which is 7.6 km long going from Xi'an Road to Gongnong Road (Hongqi Street). In 2014, a new branch from the existing line—No. 55 opened. It shares the same track from Gongnong Road (Hongqi Street) to Nanyang Road, then runs independently from Nanyang Road to just outside Changchun West Railway Station.
The whole system is operated by Changchun Public Transportation Group Tram Company, a division of the city's national bus operator, Changchun Public Transportation Group. Changchun tram system also uses the same fare system as the Changchun bus system.
