“What is that your city has which others don’t?”

“ What is so unique about your city?”

“What is Kolkata famous for?”

People quite often ask these questions when they come to the city of joy. And, the most obvious and common answer which we have for all three questions is the indigenous prestige of the city continuing through the tramlines.  Yes, Trams are unique to Kolkata, which does not appear in any other states in India. Trams represent Kolkata’s heritage and indigenous past.  Kolkata is famous across the world for its Trams and transport facilities.

Not just ornamental values, with just five rupees, you can reach any part of the city. The transport offers a complimentary. You can glance through the city of joy while undertaking the comfortable journey. It is one of the major transport systems in the city, especially for local commuters. Alas! Out of 80 routes that used to operate in colonial Kolkata and after that till the 1960s, the count has gone down to 20. But, the reduction of traffic snarls is still a beneficiary for the city which is why many investors seek to expand the tram routes and make Kolkata adopt a completely clean transport system.

The indigenous uniqueness is also a premise for modernity. Many thematic trams are set out in the streets of the city which reflects both the nostalgia of Kolkata as well as the new trends that the city has recently encountered with. You can now spend your tram journey by reading books. Well, a library within a tram was an innovation way beyond our imaginations. Besides, you can check out jute items, or purchase food while traveling in the trams. These trams also act as a symbol of Kolkata street art. Many trams are painted in several concepts. One of them even highlights the festivals of India. Thus, giving space for local talents to cherish their passion and grow with the uniqueness of the city.
