Trams were never built for joyride or heritage ride, it is as important transportation system and the US car centric mentality harms city planning and livability. Trams are used in Europe efficiently and greatly enhance city. Modernising trams is must to remove the impression that it is for joyride

[@liveenjoy6821]

I'm not from Kolkata but I feel like the trams should be kept and infact imported the new 1 or 2 car modern trams which is used in various European countries. Introducing new modern tram routes in Newtown, North Kolkata like Barrackpore and South Howrah will help the public significantly.

[@S.Ghosh_221]

Tram service should be started in other cities of Bengal or atleast in the newer part of the Kolkata ,up north as the expanding new part of Kolkata has wider roads and opportunity for planning. The central kolkata part is old and trams indeed cause traffic problems.

[@sourabhkarmakar8040]

Yes as MetroLite.

[@minthangtungnung3645]

Trams made Kolkata iconic, and its renovation is a must.. 👍

[@broman178]

Having visited Kolkata many times to see my relatives there, I personally think the trams of Kolkata should be kept because shutting it down completely would really send out the wrong message when many countries around the world which phased out trams have now reintroduced them (and even upgraded systems which are older) - India is now even planning to reintroduce trams in the form of Metrolite, and Kolkata would lose some of its charm & character if they go completely. However, at the same time, the system really needs an upgrade if it is to carry on functioning because if it carries on in its current state, I definitely believe they'll be phased out completely within the decade or two. Having seen many tram systems around the world, I also think that the perception that trams are a slow and outdated form of transport is an incorrect and even ignorant view to have, because modern trams are faster (with speeds up to 70-80 kmph) so they don't hold up traffic that much, trams can be longer for more passenger capacity, they have dedicated trams stops for the trams to stop safely and they have reserved sections where available so that they don't interrupt other traffic much. I think modern trams can definitely serve as a feeder system to areas of the city which are not served by the metro or which don't need metro service. However, having read recent articles of plans to replace trams in narrow, congested sections with trolleybuses and restrict them to wider, less busy sections or the Maidan line, I think its a real shame that the State Government doesn't care for trams that much in general. I also find it weird that they are willing to import trolleybuses from abroad but not import modern trams (like Bombardier, Alstom & Urbos trams) to upgrade the system. Now I don't think the older trams need to be completely removed, a few old trams can be kept for heritage/tourism purposes (cities like San Francisco do that) but modern trams can be used for most public transport services. However, if they have no plan to modernise the current system, the least they can at least do is keep one or two lines open with the older trams for the sake of heritage/tourism (the Maidan line seems perfect for that as its the only reserved line left) and maybe introduce modern trams in the newer parts of the city (like New Town).

[@saswatab79]

I still remember the ting ting bell sound of the tram alerting all vehicles to give way. The ride across maidan is iconic and nostalgic. In my childhood days tram was a important part of Kolkata public transport. Esplanade was hub of trams with trams from different routes terminated and originated from this terminus. I propose government to modernize and re-vamp tram system in routes possible. Major disadvantages of Kolkata trams are occupation of already scarce road space and snail speed leading to traffic jams.

[@tobebanker4433]

As a traveling enthusiastic I always want to take a tram ride, I am sure there are many more like me. Gov should have to preserve this kind of historic and cultural assets this will also boost tourist attraction.

[@MrPramodku]

If it is historic, cultural and pride of Kolkata, then why the passengers avoid using these Trams ? The Trams as transportation should make sense. The cost of keeping these cultural values should be rational.

[@gamingwithxan1430]

You can track(get real time info) of trains, bus, and frequent metro. But for trams, neither the info available, thus, nor the frequency. Forget about real time info, map direction, etc.. it is even hard to find exact route info. Now in todays city world, how would a business or a service survive if that is kept kinda secretive than other competitors? Same goes for the govt. buses too. It seems none of those are designed/planned for betterment of public convenience.

[@rahulkamat5056]

Trams must be modified according to the time because it is dangerous for motorcycles and bicycles, also bad for traffic 🚦 jam.

[@gamingwithxan1430]

How is that dangerous? Trams aren't dangerous than any trackless vehicles like bus, pvt vehicles. Btw, kolkata has banned bicycles in many roads; While other cities prioritising environmentally friendly vehicles like bikeways(bicycle track),bike rentals, footpaths, banning other vehicles(those which are actually dangerous), but here they're doing the exact opposite. For practical examples of different cities, you can watch ' City Beautiful ' youtube channel videos by city planner master. Additionally check 'Not just bikes '
