I was excited when we started getting electric buses here, then I learnt we used to have trolley buses until the mid 70s. At least we got a tram line in 2021 so that's great

    My city was designed in the early 20th century and specifically included space for trams on the roads, but cars took over so trees were planted to fill the space. Now we're building a tramway and many of those trees need to be removed our local green party is in a difficult spot — they do want the tram, they don't want trees removed
