Oh ok then, I’ll put up the case for the tram.
The trams are primarily required as in future years there wouldn’t be enough bus capacity on Princes St to cope with the predicted increase in bus passengers. It can come to a standstill at the moment so fast forward 20 years and the buses would all be full with no room for any more.
The trams will provide a faster, more reliable journey time when compared to buses and are generally loved by residents of any city which has installed them. The tram will interface properly with the airport, anyone that says otherwise is a taxi driver/EEN reporter.
For sure some things have gone wrong (it’s a huge project involving major works across an entire city – it’s possible we could have expected this!) but hey, lets hang on in there and put up with a bit of pain to get a great modern public transport system for the future.
