Anyways, I think streetcars when well designed are an amazing tool for micromobility in a city as they are accessible, bikes can be brought onboard, they're faster than walking, pretty, and allow for easy movement between locations. A well designed tram expands a person's walking radius by several miles without taking any energy from a person. Basically Trams are great for moving people around neighborhoods, funneling them to higher capacity metro stations and in general make a neighborhood more human friendly
Additionally due to being powered by electricity, they are clean transit that reduces air pollution. And fill in the gaps in transit systems easily
Obviously a high capacity metro is a better system as it can move more people faster greater distances, but there is a benefit to be found in the ability for trams to move people short distances as a large amount of car trips are less than 3 miles
Ideally the tram serves to move people around a neighborhood and funnel people to a metro system or el which can move people between neighborhoods of a city
