Vienna Tram

Headline: “Why can’t Vienna cut cars?”

Reality: “Vienna aims to reduce the share of journeys in private cars within the city from 25% to 15% by the end of the decade. While data for other cities is hard to directly compare, only a handful of big European cities have cut car use to below 30% of journeys.”

Vienna is trying to get to 15% car usage while others struggle to get to 30%.

Vienna does have a very good network. It’s a unique city though.

Austria has a large percentage of government subsidized housing, so they have a lot more control over urban planning than the US, and can optimize for public transportation use.

That's a way more accurate description. I've full on blocked TheGuardian as a keyword (to the best of Piefed's ability) due to their constant editorializing and sensationalism

Hell, the picture is even misleading; Vienna trams are quite a bit newer and better maintained than that one (both look nice though)
