Every store? Obviously not. Running cargo trams through major business or industrial districts, though? More plausible, if the will exists.

Something like that, but as a public service.

The main route went from the logistics center in Friedrichstadt via Postplatz and Grunaer Straße to Straßburger Platz and finally on to the factory.

This went from one logistics center to one production facility. It is insane to think that this could be a scalable solution.

Wow, a train line goes defunct in a country that heavily subsidizes car infrastructure and actively works against other modes of transportation. I’m shocked, really. Shocked.

I didn’t say anything about it going defunct. That has to be one of stupidest attempts at a straw man I’ve ever seen.

I pointed out that it only ever carried material from one location to one other location, and that such a system would not be scalable to serving an entire city.

Did you even read my comment?
