Baguio Streetcar Proposal

Rumors of a tram, train or streetcar line in downtown Baguio City have been floated around for a decade now. The first “serious” plan we heard was in the late 1990s coming rom the Camp John Hay developer, Bob Sobrepena who wanted to connect Camp John Hay to Session Road. That would have been a Loakan-Session line that passes through Upper Session Road and reaches the Baguio City Market and goes back up again.
The idea for a tram mimics the cable car lines of downtown San Francisco that has about four cable car lines crossing the city and honestly, this would be a most charming addition to the Summer Capital of the Philippines. I have long imagined such an attraction going down Session Road.
Such a proposal here again, this time coming from a most unlikely place — Spain.
