Smaranika Tram Museum

The thing is that this is exactly not a museum at all. Actually this is a basically a tram compartment repurposed into an air conditioned restaurant. That's it and that's the whole premise of the museum. Upon entering you're greeted with an ordering counter for snacks and beverages. There's one small room at the end of the tram which houses some of the antique items ranging from tickets , stamps, news cuttings to miniature models and equipment. The rest of the compartment is dedicated for seating arrangements for you to enjoy your food. For 20 rupees as an entry fee (in the style of a cool tram ticket) I think this leaves a desire to see something more from the museum.

Very well maintained museum but very few vistors! More people need to visit this place to know glorious history of trum in our city of joy! This museum is about 8 years old. It has a small seating area inside to have a little snacks or tea. Ticket is only 20 rupees per head.

You can rediscover your childhood nostalgia of tram rides here. Entry fee is just 20 rs. There is small cafeteria in the first coach, and when you enter the second coach, you will definitely travelled back in time where you can enrich yourself with the history and gradual development of tram rides. However, the place is little bit clumsy inside. If the authority could arrange another tram and decorate it completely to showcase the glorius history and models with adequate space- It will definitely attract more and more vistiors.
