Lots of cities around the world have got rid of their tram systems in favour of private cars and are only now starting to realise that was a very bad idea for the most part.
I'm fine with historic tramways - but is it going to be fit for purpose if people start using it like a modern metro?
The lucky people of Bergen have a modern light rail system too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bergen_Light_Rail
That's fantastic. I was reading the Wikipedia article and it's refreshing to see all the hurdles they went through to get the light rail built. Makes me feel less bad about my country - Norway is about a decade ahead as usual.
@anji Looks lovely. We have a bunch of these old trams in Bucharest too, but some of them are not really maintained (specially the newer models).
Not to mention Constanța, Brașov and Botoșani removed their tram systems in favor of buses (Constanța even removed trolleybuses as well) - then scrapped the vehicles.
