Though trams have had baiters with vested interests within the government and outside making covert attempts to scrap the pollution-free mode of transport, there is no denying that this mode of transport lends character to the city and provides instant recognition in photographs. To locate a movie or an advertisement in Kolkata, a glimpse of the ubiquitous tram is a must. In it's hey days, Trams used to ply the streets of Mumbai, Chennai, Kanpur & Delhi as well, but Kolkata is the only Indian city where this eco-friendly mode of transport has survived. Though it has its supporters, there is a perceived disconnect between the slow-moving vehicles and fast-paced urban life. The museum plans to help bridge that gap and evoke a sense of nostalgia and pride.
