Trams To Discontinue Services In Kolkata: End Of A 150-Year Era

Trams to discontinue services in Kolkata after 150 years! Kolkata, the only city in India still using trams, will soon end most of its tram routes. The West Bengal government made this decision after the trams had been running for 150 years. Transport Minister Snehasis Chakraborty said the main reason for stopping the trams is that they cause too much traffic in the city. Though the tram service faces discontinuation, not all trams will disappear. The famous route between Maidan and Esplanade will keep running to preserve some of Kolkata’s history.

Many people in Kolkata are not happy about the decision to stop most tram services. Residents and tram fans are disappointed because they feel the trams are an important part of their city’s history.

Kolkata’s Trams: A 150-Year Journey Comes To An End

Kolkata’s trams have a long and rich history. They started in 1873 as horse-drawn carriages and have been a key part of the city’s public transport for over 150 years. Many people think of trams when they think of Kolkata, as they’re one of the things that make the city special.

The decision to stop most tram services has upset many locals. 

However, the government says they have practical reasons for this decision. The transport minister explained that Kolkata’s streets are narrow, with only 6% of the city being roads. These roads are struggling to handle the slow-moving trams along with all the other vehicles.

They say traffic congestion is already a big problem in Kolkata.
