The Kolkata tram system, the oldest operating tram network in Asia, is witnessing a slow decline. Established in 1873, it once thrived as a vital public transport system. However, with increased competition from buses, metros, and ride-sharing services, its relevance has dwindled. Rising operational costs, reduced routes, and outdated infrastructure have led to a gradual phase-out of this iconic mode of transport, symbolizing the end of an era for Kolkata's historical and cultural heritage.
