Kolkata Residents Don't Want Iconic Trams to Disappear Into History

They have been Kolkata's pride for nearly 150 years. The iconic trams, the oldest in Asia, have trundled on at their own pace to create a distinct niche in public transport. Several tram routes have been discontinued for varied reasons. Many also consider the slow-moving trams a misfit in a fast-paced, bustling metropolis. But large sections of people still want this service to continue.
