to Alex Read

You made the good point, Alex that trams will entice more motorists out of their cars.  Unfortunately, much as I love using trams, this is done by replacing trains and buses that could also be made as desirable as trams with less impact on the Covid/climate/ecological/nature crisis.

You made the very true point that there are no stairs with trams that are a danger to use when the bus is moving.  Unfortunately, it is impractical to replace every bus with a tram.  Therefore, instead of complicating life with more changes and delays between the different modes of bus, train and tram (and LR, VLR, ULR, too), just make the two basic modes as least as good as the average on the mainland of Europe.
