A plan to begin building a Leeds tram by 2028 was delayed after a secret Whitehall review warned about a risk to taxpayers' money

The peer review, obtained by @noahvickers.bsky.social, warned that the project was being driven by a “political agenda rather than a recognised programmatic approach"

I'm not actually clear here what the argument is? Are they suggesting buses are cheaper & more efficient (because for example they can go places trams can't) or that by neglecting to make a case for trams over buses West Yorks neglected to consider all public transport fairly. Also, why not both?
