Wow, a train line goes defunct in a country that heavily subsidizes car infrastructure and actively works against other modes of transportation. I’m shocked, really. Shocked.
I didn’t say anything about it going defunct. That has to be one of stupidest attempts at a straw man I’ve ever seen.
I pointed out that it only ever carried material from one location to one other location, and that such a system would not be scalable to serving an entire city.

This went from one logistics center to one production facility. It is insane to think that this could be a scalable solution.

Did you even read my comment?
Mh, why do you think it never grew beyond “one line serving one location”? 🤔
We did have more extensive tram services transporting goods in the past: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geschichte_der_Straßenbahn_in_Hannover#Güterstraßenbahn
You know, before this country became the world’s largest car exporter and started to dismantle its train network…
Lol, nobody is talking about entire cities, but do go ahead talking about strawmen.
It’s literally the title.
The title is “cities need to be entirely served by trams for transporting goods”?
Are you sure you can actually read?
