Also China has a weird thing about battery operated trams. Not sure why they don’t put up the wires for so many of them.
This type of tram is capable of operating off-wire for a short distance, useful for areas where overhead wires are not feasible due to obstructions or conflicts with other lines.
It definitely looks better, but I’m not sure if it’s cost-effective at all.
the resulting returns from being able to decrease the amount of necessary infrastructure to run it will be cost-effective immediately
