Tramway

The steam tram line from Tilburg via Goirle to Hilvarenbeek and Esbeek was opened on 23 September 1907. In Hilvarenbeek, the tram stopped at the inns Den Hemel, De Posthoorn and De Valk; in Esbeek at café Kerkzicht. The tram line ran through the following streets, among others: Heuvel, Piusplein, Korvelplein, (Tilburg), Tilburgseweg Kerklaantje (Goirle), Goirlesedijk, Gelderstraat, Hilvarenbeek (Hilvarenbeek), Esbeekseweg, Dorpsstraat (Esbeek).

By 1930, the steam tram had become obsolete. The tram line from Tilburg to the border was discontinued on 15 September 1935 and public transport was taken over by BBA buses.
