Seeking advice from EU cities that reintroduced trams!

A group of us in Ljubljana, Slovenia, have recently launched a public initiative + petition to bring back our city's tram network: tramvaj-ljubljana.si

Ljubljana had a tram network from 1901 to 1958, when it was scrapped for buses. Today, the city is heavily dependent on cars while bus ridership drops every year. We believe our main corridors desperately need real, high-capacity light rail.

We’re building bottom-up public support to push local decision-makers into real action, and we’d love advice from anyone who has experience with light rail advocacy or reintroduction:

  1. Political Traction: How did your local campaign move politicians from "nice idea" to actual funding commitments?
  2. Public Buy-in: What arguments best tackled local fears about construction disruption, costs, or car lane reductions?
  3. Funding: How did your city effectively leverage national grants, EU funding, or loans to finance the rail infrastructure?

Any insights are greatly appreciated!

Ljubljana je v zadnjem desetletju izgubila četrtino potnikov javnega prevoza

Vsakemu je jasno, da jpp v Ljubljani ne funkcionira, ampak malokrat so dejansko omenjene številke. Po MOL-ovih lastnih raziskavah se je v enajstih letih število dnevnih poti v Ljubljani povečalo za skoraj 90.000, javni prevoz pa je v istem času izgubil več kot 23.000 dnevnih potnikov.

Še več, če Ljubljana želi po deležu dnevnih poti z javnim prevozom ujeti Gradec (primerljivo mesto po št. prebivalcev), bi morala doseči več kot 100.000 dodatnih poti.

Za dosego ambicioznih ciljev ne zadostujejo polovičarske rešitve. Ljubljana potrebuje infrastrukturo, ki bo zadostovala za naslednjih 50 let.

Zato smo ustanovili gibanje za vrnitev tramvaja v Ljubljano. Naš cilj je, da se že na novembrskih volitvah spet začne govoriti o tramvaju kot o realni (in najboljši) opciji za jpp v mestu. Začeli smo s peticijo, ki je že live na spletni strani. Tisti, ki podpirate tramvaj, vas prosimo da oddate svoj podpis na spodnjem linku.

Looking for padel partners in Paris

Hey! I just moved to Paris and I'm looking for people to play padel with. About a year of experience, tennis background, intermediate level.

Back home we had a WhatsApp group where people could post when they needed a partner — is there something like that in Paris? Any recommendations welcome!
