[TramsDownUnder] Re: Melbourne Free Tram Zone in the Guardian

The problem is not the FTZ. The problem is that YT has too little tram capacity to move crowds. The whole fleet should be 30 metre trams. Instead, not only is there still a large legacy fleet of bus-size trams, but the problem is being perpetuated with the G class.

I do not expect anything to change.  The FTZ is like negative gearing:  counterproductive and damaging but popular.  It is politically impossible to get rid of it as doing so would cost too many votes.
