The oldest operating trams in Asia see slow death in Kolkata

September 2024 486 views 02 Min 32 Sec

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 Rising operational costs, reduced routes, and outdated infrastructure have led to a gradual phase-out of this iconic mode of transport, symbolizing the end of an era for Kolkata's historical and cultural heritage.
