porto trams






i like trams.

in porto, trams were in full effect.







proper old school seats
the kind where you can flip the backrest over to change which direction you face.






proper old school controls
wooden handles on metal levers... excellent.






all the trams were driven by women. look at this lady working it in her wedges.
the pedal in the centre is the bell which she steps on to frighten tourists
and to scare off cars driven by portuguese men.
