Cost almost nothing to run and maintain as they are electric, last 50+ years, takes traffic off the road, can be easily automated, 10 times cheaper to build than subways and heavy rail, basically zero downsides

Trams are good, folks.

    forcing people to choose between streetcars and street tacos is the twelfth form of liberalism. :mao-shining:

      Call me a lib, but I don't want to live in a world without Mexicans or Mexican food.

      Edit: Not throwing shade on you Straya, you just got some work to do

        believe me, it was much worse until 8 (maybe) years ago. Literally below Taco Bell tier until Mamasita took off as a wanky restaurant and the Taco Truck first opened.

        We legit didn't have food trucks (apart from soft serve vans we all call Mr Whippy) until it became a cultural wank phenomenon like 5 years ago
