Grassy trams are better than dead asphalt, but monoculture lawns are still not the best. I'm not sure what the best translation of the official name would be, but I guess meadowy tram would fit. Much lower maintenance and increased resilience to heat and dryness are nice bonuses.

This is a 1km stretch of tramline 13 running through a park in Helsinki, Finland.

Great to see it. Those look very nice!

I’ve had this very thought. Unfortunately we don’t have many trams here so there are no grassy ones at all to work on.
