news from the far north. Kiel decided to build a tram network after they demolished the previous one in 1985. the parliament of the city voted in favor of it. the argument in favor are the lower running cost of trams than running buses more often and that the state of Schleswig-Holstein would pay most of the cost
now I don't know if nimbys will stop it. the people south of Hamburg seem to be crazy opposing a new direct train line between Hamburg and Hannover running next to the motorway A7 at all cost, although more capacity is needed and it would shorten the travel time.
>Public opinion has historically been divided, as it has in other German cities such as Wiesbaden, Tübingen and Aachen which have all rejected light rail schemes in local referenda.
