Catch a tram and watch the world rattle by

Melbourne has the largest operating tram network in the world – 250 kilometres of track, almost 500 trams and 1,763 tram stops. “Sitting in the coveted window seat, you can watch Melbourne go by at a top speed of 16km/h without missing a thing,” says the Herald Sun. And with its new $150 million solar plant to power Melbourne’s tram network, reports The Australian, the Victorian state government has unveiled a “world first” policy to move Melbourne’s entire tram network onto solar power run by solar power plants built in Victoria … 410 solar trams running right through that network.
