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
