Beirut Tramway Reconsidered
The article discusses the possibility of bringing the tram back to the streets of Beirut after more than sixty years of absence, through the "LIRA X-TRAM" project. This project is developing an electric Lebanese-made tram that does not require traditional rail tracks and runs on batteries capable of covering approximately 150 kilometers, with recharging taking 30-45 minutes using solar or electric energy. The aim is to develop urban transportation, reduce traffic congestion, lower emissions, support the Lebanese industry, and create job opportunities. While officials have indicated that the project is still in its early stages and that manufacturing, safety testing, and preparations for actual operation are yet to be completed, the key remains the government's decision to embrace the project and move toward implementation. Such a step could serve as a spark for revitalizing public transportation in Beirut.
