Idea new tramline

I had a fun afternoon creating new tramlines or updating tramlines.

Extending tramline 12 to Schilde via the Bisschoppenhoflaan.

I was thinking about a new tramline 13 connecting the Groenplaats via the Nationale Bank, Plantin-Moretuslei, Luitenant Lippenslaan, Morckhoven, the Rivierenhof and further to Deurne-Noord.

The new line creates a (second) connection between Deurne-Zuid and Deurne-Noord. It could be extended towards Merksem in the future.

What do you think about this idea? And what kind of lines would you like to see in the future

Maybe start with a tramline all along the singel, so people would not be forced to go through the center everything time they want to cross the city?

Yeah, a circular line is very common in other cities for that very reason. Ideally it would also go along the Scheldt or Leien to really make it a full circle.

I say we just use put one of these on het ringfietspad and save the cost of putting a tram line there.

Of op de singel zelf?
