INDIA-TRANSPORT-HISTORY-TRAM

In this photo taken on September 18, 2024, passengers commute in a tram along a street in Kolkata. Introduced in the sprawling eastern city in 1873 during the early days of the imperial British Raj, trams in Kolkata were initially horse-drawn, then steam-driven. Electric-powered trams took to the streets in 1900. The single-storey trams -- painted in uniform stripes of bright blue and white, with a sunshine yellow top -- trundle at best at around 20 kilometres (12 miles) per hour, if not snarled in traffic blocking its route.
