Tram has long been a remarkable icon of Hong Kong, but a consulting firm recently proposed to cancel the tram path from Central to Admiralty. The aim is to alleviate the problem of traffic congestion in Central. Wisely Consultants Limited indicates that the transportation function of tram connecting has been replaced by MTR, but tram occupied 30 percents surface area of Des Voeux Road. Therefore, the cancellation of tram in the concerned area can alleviate the problem of traffic congestion.
As mentioned in the paragraph above, Tram has long been a remarkable icon of Hong Kong. Tram is much more environmentally friendly than other transportation modes. Tram deserves to be retained due to all of the above reasons.
