Dim Hope for Tram’s Future.
Tram is a convenient and economical transportation in Hong Kong. Tram can also work with tourism, as it represents a unique culture of Hong Kong. Since the Hong Kong Government do not perceive tram as a major transportation, the future development of tram is limited and not optimistic.
電車是一種很方便的交通工具,車費平宜,還可以與旅遊結合,讓遊客感受香港的另一面。不過,面對激烈的競爭,電車載客量日漸下降。電車公司財力有限,難以解決保留和發展的需求。在政府的鐵路規劃裡,電車只屬於輔助性質的交通工具,開拓路線受到局限。移走電車軌無助改善港島區的運輸效率,保留電車卻沒有發展空間。食之無味,棄之可惜!
