A main advantage of tramways and other forms of light rail is the versatility, while offering capacity and comfort in public passenger transport. Many policy makers and public transportation companies are looking only to inflexible and (too) expensive solutions (i.e. tunnels), thereby missing opportunities for better public transport.
These pages want to show that it is possible to achieve an enormous increase in the number of passengers with other, simpler solutions.

What is needed is a well thought-out concept, while keeping it simple. The best example is the transportation network of Karlsruhe, which, especially in the Netherlands, merits more attention than it already has received.
