Article text: Your article (Vienna’s public transport is the envy of the world – so why can’t it ditch cars?, 6 May) is a real challenge for UK politicians and policymakers. In March, Create Streets, Freewheeling and the Campaign for Better Transport, supported by the RAC Foundation, published the report Towns and Trams, advocating the use of trams to unblock city congestion, as in Vienna. Sadly, the tram scheme for Leeds is on ice until the late 2030s. Trams give 90% of the benefits of metros at 10% of the cost. For the cost of the Elizabeth line, London could have a world-class tramway over 1,000km long, more than twice the length of the tube network. Even in London, bus use has been declining by about 1.5% a year, despite efforts to attract more trips. Department for Transport data shows that 25% of tram passengers have left a car at home. A team in Southwark is trying to promote an initial tram line between London Bridge and Denmark Hill, serving three major hospitals, but there are still legal and institutional hurdles to overcome.

a map showing the network as it would appear after current extensions are built. a dotted line shows a potential extension of the ontario line from exhibition up to jane street. to get to jane street, both make use of the kitchener rail corridor in some part. there is an option A, which shows the line curving up under dufferin after exhibition and continuing until it reaches dupont, and then using the midtown line to rejoin the kitchener corridor until it reaches jane. option b veers north on dufferin after exhibition but quickly turns onto the kitchener corridor after queen street and continues there until diverging at jane.
