A Tram Runs Through It!

IAi??couldn’t resist. In Freiburg Germany, trams co-exist with bicycles and buildings, without the doom and gloom and general transportation chaos predicted by the SkyTrain (a.k.a. metro) lobby.

So sad when on this side of the pond, many regional politicians equate modern LRT as an anachronism from years gone by and not as a viable and affordable transit mode in daily use in well over 400 cities around the world. In the Vancouver Metro Region, designing “rail” transit to be customer friendly instead of beingAi??’engineering’ friendly is still at least a generation away.
