On Thursday's Backchat, trams; and animal cruelty.
Hong Kong’s trams ran for free on Wednesday, in celebration of their world record as “largest double-decker tram fleet in service”.
They've been around since 1904, and carry about 200,000 people a day. But do they have a future? Are trams commercially sustainable? Are they mostly for tourists? Would they work in other areas - like Kai Tak, or West Kowloon, or Shatin?
After 9.15am, we’re discussing animal cruelty, after a student was arrested after
allegedly pouring salt over snails to kill them. Is that cruel?
