Environmental benefits of keeping the tram service

Image
Reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Trams are electric and produce no tailpipe emissions, significantly lowering greenhouse gases compared to cars and buses, which are major contributors to urban pollution Improved Air Quality: By reducing reliance on fossil fuel-powered vehicles, trams help enhance air quality, mitigating health risks associated with air pollution Lower Energy Consumption: Trams are more energy-efficient than cars, consuming less energy per passenger-kilometer traveled. This efficiency will further improve as cities transition to renewable energy sources Decreased Traffic Congestion: Increased tram usage can lead to fewer cars on the road, reducing traffic congestion and associated emissions Biodiversity Support: Tramways can be designed to coexist with green spaces, promoting biodiversity and enhancing urban ecosystems

Tram services in Kolkata

Image
West Bengal government plans to discontinue most routes due to increasing traffic congestion.Transport Minister Snehasis Chakraborty announced that only the heritage route between Esplanade and Maidan will remain operational, aimed at providing a nostalgic experience for passengers. This decision has sparked significant backlash from locals who view the trams as a vital part of Kolkata's cultural heritage, with protests already planned against the discontinuation.  Many advocates suggest modernizing the service instead of shutting it down entirely The discontinuation of tram services in Kolkata could negatively impact air quality. While the government argues that removing trams will reduce traffic congestion and thus lower emissions from idling vehicles, trams are a non-polluting mode of transport. They contribute to reduced reliance on personal vehicles, which are major sources of air pollution. Studies indicate that public transportation, including trams, significantly decreases
