Interurban networks are rapidly disappearing across Europe, but Katowice, Poland, is holding on to one of *the largest tram systems in the country!* 😮 Unlike most cities, where such networks are being phased out in favour of buses or other modes of transport, Katowice's trams continue to connect the city with the surrounding areas and rural regions. But why? What's the story behind this seemingly outdated but still functioning transport network?🤔🚉
▶️ In this video, you will discover the history and current state of *Katowice's interurban tram system and explore why it has survived.* We'll take a closer look at the development of the system, the role it plays in the city and surrounding areas, and why it remains a vital part of local transport.
But we also want to hear from you! *What do you think keeps the interurban network in Katowice alive?* Is there a hidden benefit we haven't thought of? Or is there something about the city's culture, geography or infrastructure that keeps the trams running?👀
We’d love to hear your guesses and ideas below!💡👇
