The same journey by car takes an hour, but by tram it's 25 minutes. There should be more trams during the rush hour.
Mobile phones should be banned as they cause noise pollution on this method of transport. It's above ground, people are not stressed and I like this means of transport.
There should be a more frequent service in the morning rush hour and in the evening, as the waiting times are too long. There are not enough carriages. In France, the organisation of public transport is based on a decentralised administrative system established in the s. For thirty years, land authorities have had great autonomy to develop their public transport networks in a context of very heavy car use. Today, the car is gradually making way for public transport systems and tramways have been experiencing a revival for several years now.
Tramways have been making their mark over the years because they fit into the scheme of urban renewal, transport planning and environmental concerns. This is a political choice which is firmly rooted in the sustainable development ethos and enables planners to take a new approach to urban mobility and urbanisation projects. Trams have also become a tool for promoting a town, because building a tramway implies a desire to renew the image of the town where it is located.
Many French companies are using their expertise on projects to create tramways and export skills worldwide, ranging from studies and construction to operating tramway systems. Compared to the private car, tramways are proving to be a credible means of transport with their dedicated platforms and priority at intersections.
