Tickets Please

Presenting the age of human tram ticket patrol. Friendly, efficient and reliable. Greeted with a smile, affordable and recognisable. Easy to operate, straight forward and honest. I want to keep it positive so I will not compare a worked perfectly retired system with that which has replaced it. Instead let's have a moments silence for the end of common sense. Back in the day you bought your tickets on board the tram, the conductors were proud and helpful and operated for 113 years, a perfect piece of history. Someone without a heart in government removed the tram conductors from the trams back in 1998 and the following link with give you an interesting run down of trams in Melbourne and Kolkata, India, the only two cities outside Europe with operating currently trams http://tramconductors.net  The following link gives you information on an exhibition in Melbourne about trams and with this information at hand, I might have to take a stroll along and see the exhibition.
