A tram route to the past

- DARRYN Lyons is leading a push for trams to return to Geelong, more than 60 years after they last rattled through the city’s streets.

Fix the carparking around the Geelong Hospital. Jason Cavanagh

We need a better public bus system for towns outside Geelong before the trams in the city go in. Marisa Jain Arnott

Geelong is a bottleneck now thanks to being reduced to single lanes. So where will the tram lines go? Helen Thomas

No need for trams. Typical living in the 1950s, backward Liberal he is. We don’t need trams we already have buses. Dazzling might think horse ’n buggie would be a good thing. Mark Brian

We need an updated bus service that caters for all the new suburbs being developed like Curlewis and Oakdene in Ocean Grove. Agatha Ostrowski

Bring some atmosphere and charisma into the city which is sadly lack- ing since they pulled down all the historic buildings. Maree Irene Fagan

No trams to Geelong we just pulled the tram lines up and planted trees. Now you want to pull them out to get slow-moving trams back. We need better bus systems. Or undergroun­d trains. Even out to rural areas. Sarah Chisholm

You’ve got to be kidding. The streets aren’t wide enough. Margaret Whiting

I would love to see trams back in Geelong! Great for tourism and great for getting from one end of Gtown to the other. Kelly N Clay

Traffic is chaotic enough in Geelong. Why would you add trams to the equation? Grant Cassar

Trams are a good idea, a novelty to bring more tourists to Geelong. Rayzer Tooly

That would be enough to vote for him. Can’t get to waterfront. Ash Harvey

A tourist route would be okay, maybe to the waterfront. They would not work as public transport. Cameron Whyte
