minus-square@jonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoDoesn’t work in hilly cities. That’s why San Francisco has trolleybuses too (and the historical cable cars, but those are more for tourists). They do have light rail where it does make sense though.
minus-square@Kempeth@feddit.delinkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoI looked it up and it can indeed go up to 13.5% inclination but they can only run powered cars, no attached wagons. That reduces capacity. I don’t want to shit on trams. I don’t like this bus vs tram bashing in either direction. I’ll happily take either improvement over a sea of cars…
