Even if you think what you would say is obvious, please add. This is genuinely something I think makes sense regarding local bus routes given the longevity of light rail and how infrequently routes change, but I also suffer from confirmation bias, so I’m hoping for reasons this would be a terrible idea but obviously would prefer reasons it would be an even more amazing idea than I thought.
Good luck climbing hills. Not saying it wasn’t done before (I use a “tram” which does it daily), but it’s one of the more expensive problems to solve.
San Fran managed.
And Lisbon too, as a side bonus tourists love to see old trams going up the hill (in both cities).
Not really. Unless you mean cable cars. But that’s not really an alternate to a bus. Pretty sure they’re way way way more expensive to maintain
