Those who has been protesting against construction of this light rail are often taken up on Japanthe SNS.
Their opinions are "Current bus service sufficiently satisfies local residents. Construction of the new tram line wastes our tax."
But, when we consider that most of the tracks are segregated from vehicle lanes, trams will be superior to current bus service in terms of punctuality. And, there will be much more transportation capacity than bus.
