oh how i wish we could return to 30 km/h being considered neck-breakingly fast transport, that's why these tiny trams worked.
Nowadays public transport always has to either be the objectively fastest option or carry enough passengers that the sheer mass of people wanting to go somewhere means that it's the only feasible solution.
