Trams can carry 3X as many people as buses. Buses and traffic jams on busy roads could be replaced with trams — with new bus routes linking us to tram stops. West Yorkshire Needs A Tram.

🇱🇺🚊 Luxembourg’s tram just completed its final phase to the airport. ➡️ 24 stations, 16 km of track ➡️ Completely free to use 💰 €565M (€35.3M/km) This isn’t some obscure socialist country but the world’s richest country per capita, yet they build cheap, quality transit

Good luck to Copenhagen -- a city slightly smaller and less dense than Leeds with an economy twice the size -- with its newly confirmed fifth autonomous metro line project which will provide excellent connectivity for the land at Lynetteholm in the process of being reclaimed.

🇧🇪🚊 Yesterday, Liege, Belgium, opened its new tram network—58 years after the original system closed. It’s a typical modern European tram: 100% on dedicated right-of-way, aggressive transit signal priority, green tracks, redesigned streets… ➡️ 11.8 km 💰 €36M/km

🤔 Could this be what gets West Yorkshire a tram? Leeds is set to welcome the greatest number of ex-London civil servants of any city. Will the 2100 new workers miss the tube and decide to finally fund a massive transit system here?

The rest of the country has barely functioning public transport and London’s metropolitan elite are whinging that their trains that come every 2 minutes have graffiti on them.
