There was a proposal to built a monorail in Melaka by the state government, from Air Keroh to Bandar Melaka.However, we have to consider various aspect of implementation and it's suitability.
Since Melaka town were made up of old and ancient building architecture, it was not so suitable for the monorail or aerocar. The modern tram is a better alternative and compliment well with the surrounding of an old building in most old town like the European town. The aerocar will have a support pile which is not very suitable and blocking the view and of the beauty of the building architecture.
I have collected many tram design and used in various country. Most of the design were of the British tram design as the British made were familiar during colonial time. In fact the "hill train" in Penag were of the British origin.
Looking from some of the collection of picture above, the early 3 of the picture were of a old tram, mostly used in UK and Australia. But the 4th and 5th(old tram red in color) were used in modern Istanbul and old Istanbul. The 6th and 7th were of the modern one used in most modern town including old town with a new design and new engine which is a much better and faster.
It complement well with the old and modern architecture building.
