It was fun to assist the conductors in pulling and hooking the two connecting power rods at the interchange at Simpang Enam in fron of the Cravan Cafe. I think bringing the tram back is the most sensible thing to do and cost efficient. I don't believe the construction cost is going to be very high as land acquisition would not be that much a factor using similar routes operating then. Modern electric-powered trams beautifully designed and colorful would be a great tourist attraction too. I used to ride on the trams during my early schooldays in the 50s.
