In 2010, a French firm purchased the Hong Kong tram service, ancient transportation which traverses Hong Kong island for next to nothing (HK2.3/ride) except 1/2 the time it takes to walk the same distance. …they’re a bit slow.
Well, the firm introduced a new model to the steel rails. The old trams are not anything spectacular: you get caught in the turnstiles, rain juts through the cracks, the windows stick, and the seats are not anything special. The new trams fix the turnstile issue, an remove the lovely aesthetic of ridding on a charming old-timey street car. Now, you can take the same slow, cheap journey, while feeling like you’re in a sturdy while produced in the eastern bloc.
