Melbourne isn't just the CBD, though.

> They are free

In the free tram zone, sure, which is an area of less than 2 by 3 km. The longest tram route is 23 km long.

Is that Burwood highway one?

But yeah, I feel like they do their best work in the CBD.

There are some examples that come to mind of trams I don't like. The tram that goes down Toorak rd is a huge nuisance, mostly due to how the council has mismanaged that road.

There are two lanes. That tram shares the right lane with cars and cars are allowed to park on the left lane. It completely bottlenecks the road - probably its intended purpose so people pay for Citylink bypass.
