    i’ve always kinda thought that putting trams in a loop around the rail lines would be cool… make it like a web

    id prefer more trams to busses any day of the week

      Cool idea! Could probably go a long way to de-car-ifying the 'burbs too.

      Maybe some of those bus-tram hybrid systems instead?

      The problem I have with trams is their inflexibility … shifting a line is a bit of work because of the tracks (though they’re probably more environmentally friendly)

      that’d be cool but trams can’t have that high of a top speed bc of their wheels optimised for sharp turns, so idk if they’d be a good replacement for the 90x series (the orbital buses)
