I watched some videos on trams in Slovakia with the boys and they look very similar to our E Class trams. The design of trams is probably centring on one specific shape that works.
But what also struck me is how quiet the videos are. These trams are completely separated from cars and there's almost no sound in the videos. The trams don't even ding when they take off.
It's great timing as I recently watched the Not Just Bikes video on why trams are great and street cars suck, and I feel like Melbourne Trams are right in the middle.
