🚋 Could Chandigarh Get A Tram System Instead Of A Metro?
To tackle rising traffic congestion, Chandigarh Administration is exploring the possibility of introducing eco-friendly trams using the city’s existing 200+ km cycle track network.
The idea is to improve public transport without disturbing Chandigarh’s heritage architecture, avoiding massive excavation, flyovers, or metro pillars.
With the proposed Tricity Metro project estimated to cost between ₹25,000 crore and ₹30,000 crore, authorities are also evaluating whether trams or BRTS could be a more practical and cost-effective solution.
As traffic continues to grow across Chandigarh, Mohali, and Panchkula, the debate over the city’s future transport system is heating up.
💬 What would you choose for Chandigarh — Tram 🚋 or Metro 🚇?

🏁 Tram vs. freight train: who gets there first?
🚋 On the final section of Riga’s former Line 2 (today’s Line 8), trams run parallel to the railway leading to the Port of Riga.
🚂 Our opponent? A heavy freight train hauled by a legendary Soviet 2M62 twin-section diesel locomotive on its way to the harbour.
🎥 Filmed from the passenger seat of a Tatra T6B5, this unexpected side-by-side run almost feels like a race.

🚋 Auf der M4 rollen seit dieser Woche endlich die neuen XXL-Trams. Nach 1,5 Jahren Verzögerung können damit nun die ersten alten GT6-Fahrzeuge, die bislang auf der Strecke vom Alexanderplatz nach Hohenschönhausen in Doppeltraktion eingesetzt werden mussten, ersetzt werden. Damit wird der Nahverkehr in Berlin wieder etwas attraktiver und zuverlässiger.

Trams and buses are also coming online soon.
It’s how we’re making public transport easier to use and cheaper with half-price fares for the rest of the year.

Zurich accounted for 5,302 of the 12,167 reconstructed tram journeys—more than Basel and Geneva combined. The four-city comparison covers every operator that reported tram service in Switzerland's national actual-data feed on 26 August 2026.
The reconstruction covers 98.5% of 12,350 scheduled journeys with at least two Swiss stops. Of the journeys shown, 11,066 use recorded timing throughout; 862 include forecasts and 239 use timetable fallback. Positions between stops follow connected OpenStreetMap tram track and are interpolated, not GPS observations.

One of the coolest hidden gems in Prague🤫🚋✨
This old tram loop in Prague 6 has been transformed into one of the most unusual summer hangouts.
You can sit inside a retired Prague tram, have a drink, climb the red footbridge, and even go inside the driver’s cabin.
