Pakistan Unveils Trackless Tram, Draws Comparison to Buses
Pakistan has introduced a new type of public transport called a trackless tram, which is like a bus designed to look like a tram and runs on solar power.
The government says it's a big step for cities.
However, some people online think it's just a bus with a fancy name.
It was tested out in Lahore, and will be used to improve city transport.
Some people are pointing out that it is similar to the pre-existing bus systems.
Pakistan unveiled its first trackless tram in Lahore, Punjab.
The solar-powered tram was imported from China.
The project is part of a plan to modernize urban transport.
The tram underwent a test ride with the Chief Minister.
