Bremen, Germany sometimes is advertised as the "City of Trams", or even simply as the "Dorf mit Straßenbahn" (village with a tram).
But what if I told you it was missing a tram line? And that this line has been missing for over 50 years now, despite having served a very dense area?
This is the story of Bremen's Tram Line #7 - and why it needs to come back!
This video is a submission for @ClassyWhale's One Line More Contest. It felt fitting to end the year with a main video for a Classy Whale contest, seeing as my first one was also for a Classy Whale contest!
Special thanks to Spacy in the TFTSB Discord for providing me the scans and images of infrastructure, the proposed Bremen U-Bahn and S-Bahn networks, and even helped me source research on Line 7!
