it's the most densely populated city after Paris of the EU. Barcelona is extremely small (you will notice if you come) and cars can't circulate everywhere. Public transportation is extremely important for us. it's the city with the largest public transportation network proportionally to population (most km per capita) and still expanding! This Also leads to public transportation being used indistinctively by the poor and the rich, unlike in Many places where It's seen as something uses only for poor people that do not own a car

And, what’s worse, 5500 cars per km2, which is 2-3 times more than other major European cities. Barcelona is PACKED with cars, it’s noisy as hell, especially Eixample. This frustrates me day and night (I actually live there, whatever evil commentators say).

You did an eight minute video called "The Green Tram Failed to Make A Green City" by criticising and bashing Barcelona's tram network.

It's a shame why your video on criticising Barcelona's tram network was deleted from your channel several months ago from 26/06/2021.

The real problem with the connection of the two trams, is that all the studies show it will not be economically viable. Not the evil car cartel... There's no demand on the middle stations on the diagonal, and the only route that could make sense (end to end) is too long (1.5h at least). It can be done, to appear as more green, but It will be a permanent cost to the city.

This video forgets to mention a small but relevant issue: many people are against linking both sections not because they are against the tram, but because the current ruling party (left-wing Podemos!) wants to do it with private companies known for oversized final budgets among other blurry topics. Also, the City Hall organized a referendum amongst the residents of the Diagonal Avenue to hear their opinion and they voted against. Yet the City Hall decided to ignore the result.

when people make the arguments that trams are noisy, they are dangerous, they are environmentally unfriendly, they make the place look ugly I keep thinking "WTF?" It's simple, they aren't dangerous... you hire people that have no blemishes on their driving record with at least 10 years of heavy vehicle operation, then train them on simulators, then on vehicles with no passengers, then you tell them point blank "if you disobey the road laws... you will not only pay the fine but also won't have income to pay for it... you will be fired, trams and trains only go backwards and forwards, ever had a tram side swipe you? no? stop complaining they are dangerous. they are ugly? put some panels on it and put on some bright vibrant colours, those panels can make it go from boxy to sleek and sexy, too sexy? put a skirt on her and cover that shameful curves lest those born in the 50's think that showing ankles is that of sinful lust... trams are not the problem? it's the area? the stops? well... pretty up the area and pay some kids to design a good shelter, have an engineer from the DPW do the final calculations to see if it's a safe structure and then install it, have the tram glide on green when it's in areas with a lot of water or have natural creeping plants that don't grow higher than 10cm, open up the area for walking and don't encase it as if it's a high speed rail, showcase it as if it's a gem on a ring. As for environment... it depends on where you get the power from... if your local area has a tram, take it... I guarantee it will be a nice quiet and comfortable ride.
