These ancient and rather characterless trams rattle around an ever decreasing network of tracks.

My god! These are brilliant. Must travel in these! One of the kind in India. They are there in limited places though. The driver and the conductor are very friendly and help the tourists. The body of the tram looks very old like an iron box :D More

Runs right through the heart of Kolkata, hop on and hop off, very convenient and heritage. Runs in the middle of the road and goes through the city (Old), very reasonable and reliable. Hope this remains after the modern Metro makes a mark in the city. More
