- Lack of proper ventilation and benches for senior citizens/PWDs/pregnant women.
- Lack of trains.
- Lots of technical problems.
- Higher capital costs.
- Disruption to traffic and local businesses during construction
- Permanent inconvenience to motorists where lanes are lost or the motorists are required to wait behind a tram while its passengers are getting on and off. Cost of construction means that interchange with buses will be necessary on some routes
- Overhead wires and their supporting structures.
- Very long tramsets (over 60 metres in some cases) are awkward to accommodate in cities with short blocks. A second tramset cannot begin to enter a short block until it is certain that the tramset in front will move.
