Kalighat could’ve been the perfect blend of modern access and heritage mobility. A tram from Kalighat Depot could lift the daily burden of auto fares n crowded buses and can carry many pilgrims across city. 𝟵𝟬 𝗖𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗸𝘆𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗺 ?

Tram Route 5 is very important for Students of Schools and Colleges. Many kids and Students of Hindu School , Hare School , Vidyasagar College, Medical College and Scottish Church School regularly travels from Tram and love them. Kindly increase their frequency from Esplanade.

It’s disheartening that over 70 cities worldwide, including Sydney, Adelaide, and Paris, have not only revived trams but modernised them for future mobility. Why can’t Kolkata, with its rich tram by transforming its existing network into an eco-friendly, modern transit solution?

Illegal Parking on Tram Tracks have been increased on Lenin Sarani Road and Even Police Cars are parked on Tracks. There is no strict rule and I think Kolkata Police is not in mood for running Trams in the City and unnecessary blaming them for creating congestion. Shame !!

Blast from the past! These are from a video taken in 1989 of a tram journey in Gariahat. You can see that the tram line was built on a grass-bed track, separate from vehicular traffic. In my opinion, we should have preserved this incredibly modern mode of transportation.
