>>1046209Largest tram network in the world, 245 km of track
It is in the city centre, surrounding urban area, and the oldest inner most suburbs
there have been some light rail type of extensions in recent years but they suck
They also converted the St Kilda and South Melbourne railways to tram operation in the 1980s which had a kind of sense to it at the time as industry was moving out of the area removing demand for freight trains and the only people living there at the time were tenants of public housing blocks
But of course then it gentrified in the 90s, big surge in demand
And now a new phase is going to happen, that oval shaped lump to the left of the 109 route is currently big empty lots and old abandoned factories - all being rezoned and sold off for new housing
