Leeds has benefited significantly from the trappings of a booming economy. Whole swathes of the city centre have been regenerated and new bars, restaurants and apartment blocks are opening all the time. To support this development, new jobs in a variety of sectors have been created. This growth is forecast to continue and will place even greater demands on the roads and existing public transport services. Thousands of vehicles already travel in and out of Leeds on a daily basis and the major roads have become congested.

Tram systems in other cities, such as Manchester, Croydon and Sheffield, have already proved to be highly successful at reducing congestion by providing an alternative transport option. The much-vaunted Leeds Supertram will be no different, providing the people of Leeds with a fast, efficient, frequent, clean, modern, reliable and much-needed alternative mode of transport. This will be a major benefit to motorists and other commuters.
