☞ The inside of one of the new light rail vehicals. Notice how the seating all faces inward from the sides.

Notice the buttons to open the doors, where the buttons inside match the buttons outside. This was an improvement over the previous older trolleys where a bar inside opened the doors and a mismatched button outside opened the doors. View all▼
