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.

In Toronto, they're serious public transportation. They're about as long as 3 busses and I always prefer them to trains. It's a smoother, faster ride with a bit more space.
for sure. the ones in new orleans are just... not designed to be an actual mass transit system
