Tram cars that had disappeared from Mumbai in 1964 may be seen again in a new and futuristic version in the satellite city of Navi Mumbai.
Navi Mumbai, presently with a smaller population than Mumbai, could face problems of congestion in the future and trams were expected to help ease them, Sanjay Ubale, Secretary (Special Projects) told PTI.
"We are considering a pilot project in Navi Mumbai and have written to the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation seeking their approval to carry out feasibility studies," he said.
"Navi Mumbai's streets also have the require road width to provide space for the tracks which would make it easier to implement tram systems there," Ubale said.
The electric tram car in Mumbai operated in 1907
