Default Do we need cross-river trams? (Long appendix)

There certainly are problems in that direction, but
problems are not necessarily insoluble problems.
There would be no problem in running such a way
across the concourse of big stations, they already
have foot walkways over some! Likewise, there
would be little problem adding them to the side of
bridges - the weight is trivial. In many kinds of
modern developments, they could be fitted in.
Streets are a problem, the two main possibilities
are to build them into the buildings at basement
level or at 1st floor level. The objections should
not be too serious - building owners want people
to be brought to their buildings!


But they don't want people carrying bombs brought through their basements.
