Trams are great, but they don’t arrive as regularly as the metro and when you’re in a city with harsh winters, I’d far rather wait on a metro platform than a tram stop. I often prefer the metro when I have the choice.
@linucs I would have loved to have ridden the Leeds trams through Middleton Woods. Sadly long gone, before I got to Leeds.
But I did get to ride trams in Cairo in the late 70s-early 80s. *Not* the sleek machines the city now has. Probably built in the 1930s (?), wooden coachwork; gloriously unreliable; and just plain fun to ride!
Why should someone not like trams? I love them because you also get to watch out of the windows compared to the metro
