    1. after a quick look, and a bit mathematics, my home place is 1/32 of Lahore and we have 15 lines of Trams (Light Rail) and 20 Buslines, an S Bahn Network connecting City, Suburbs and even to many locations outside of the Canton or Country… i have trouble to imagine to live in a city that do not provide any public transport at all… and than this size….

    2. I'm looking forward to opening of new tram line to Mistrzejowice in Kraków, Poland, you could include it in a urban news. But ill be in next year.
