#Supertram in South #Yorkshire has reached a milestone of 10 million passenger journeys since returning to public control, just over a year after its takeover on 22 March 2024. This achievement follows a successful trial allowing #dogs on #trams, with over 1,800 dogs onboard so far. Since public control was regained, £15.3 million has been invested to improve the network, leading to increased passenger numbers, higher revenue, and 97% tram reliability for 2024/2025. A new #Tram #Train station at #Magna is set to open in Winter 2025. The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority plans to purchase a new tram fleet by 2032, contingent on government funding. The £100 million capital improvement programme aims to further enhance the network. Mayor Oliver Coppard praised the progress and reaffirmed his commitment to a world-class public transport system for South Yorkshire. Supertram operates on 100% renewable energy, with accessible trams and stops.
