Limassol Tram Proposal Gains Momentum, but Cost Concerns Linger

A multidisciplinary team studying Limassol's future transport network has found the prospect of a tram system to be "very promising," but warns that it may require investment running into hundreds of millions of euros. The team, led by Professor Loukas Demetriou, is examining over 30 possible options, including routes and scenarios, to determine the best solution for the city. Public support for the idea is high, with Limassol residents viewing it positively, but the researchers stress that support alone is not enough to justify the investment. The study is now in its technical assessments and calculations phase, with a final decision expected to depend on sustainability, cost, and whether the investment can pay for itself.
