Abstract

Recently, tram is focused on as one of the effective measures for the global warming, aging society and the reform of urban structure in Japan. In 2004, the French Government decided to reduce subsidy for tram and the UK Government revoked the proposed 3 tram schemes. In this paper, comparison analysis on the urban structure, tram service, passenger number and so on, as well as research of the current issues in UK and French tram systems were carried out in order to distill useful lessons for Japanese tram projects. In conclusion, Japanese urban area is suitable for tram, but the major traffic axis and population distribution should be considered for route design. UK experiences and tram supporting measures should be more highlighted because urban transport market in UK is fully liberalized.
