Trams will now be used for carrying goods to different parts of the city. The state government has come up with this new idea. The service will start from next year after East-West metro’s work is over. The trams will run in the nights and early morning as maximum goods loading and unloading take place during these hours. Already 8 goods carrying trams have been built at the Nonapukur tram depot and multinational companies have also started booking their place in it.
These trams look like the vendor compartments of trains with the seating arrangement on the sides and leaving the rest of the space for goods.
