I am a Penangite now living in The Hague, The Netherlands. Tram is a main public transportation here in The Netherlands, be it in The Hague, Amsterdam or Rotterdam. The roads in these city are narrow and car are aplenty, yet you will be amazed how Trams co-exist so efficiently with cars on the road, cyclist and pedestrain a like. And the Trams here are not for tourist, it is really a main transportation for the general public, people use it to go to school, go to work, go about their normal daily live. I do beleive it is a viable option for Penang Island. I fully support re-introduce Trams back on Penange. I am a Penangite now living in The Hague, The Netherlands.

You wanna have wires hanging all over your heads in our narrow streets? What a mess! Don't compare with Melbourne, Zurich, whatever. It won't be practical here.

I think everyone has their good intention and view. Tram or not, I think the root cause of Anil proposing this is to resolve 1 issue. Penang public transport system. Lets step back and look at the situation, 1. Who run the show for Malaysia public transport department? Federal government 2. Does State government has any authority to make changes? No. They can suggest or influence BUT no.. No changes.. 3. So can CM make any push to change? Not really.. So.. conclusion end of the day, be it Tram or NOT Tram.. to change public transport is near to equally only 1 answer.. Everyone should by now know the answer...... Go figure..
