Edinburgh Trams Surpass All Expectations
from Edinburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Edinburgh’s trams are smashing expectations—riding 50% above projected numbers since the Leith extension opened, even setting a record during Taylor Swift’s concert with 74,500 passengers. What started as a delayed public transport project has become a catalyst for economic growth, doubling the city’s GDP since 2017 and now outpacing London in per capita income. The tram line has spurred an estimated £8–10 billion in development, including major projects like Edinburgh St James, while reviving the high street—making Princes Street the UK’s most foot-trafficked shopping destination.
