## Resource

Trams are on strike today—literally—due to a signal failure that’s left the city center in gridlock. Only airport-to-West End routes are running, leaving commuters stranded and buses like the 16, 25, 30, and 33 scrambling for alternate routes. Princes Street is a mess, and this isn’t even the first major disruption this month—last week’s broken carriage and a seven-week fire shutdown prove the system’s fragile. Officials are working frantically to fix it, but expect delays and diversions until things calm down. If you’re heading downtown, brace yourself—and keep checking updates.
