Because the cynical amongst us would say that buses and trams are given priority in an attempt to convince motorists that trying to drive anywhere in this city is futile!

which answers your question....I use the tram because its quicker, its faster 'cos it has priority over other road users....

 

And even some light weight thing like a tram tends to take a while to stop compared to a bus/ car / lorry

Trams are everyday traffic so therefore why should they not have priority ?
