    Apparently it lets them accelerate and brake at a higher rate, which means they are more efficient when stations are close together

      Huh I see. Though correct me if im wrong, they seem to be underground? I’m wondering how such a close together stationed Tram Network would be underground, instead of say Busses above. Is Chile particularly crowded from above?

        Honestly, I don’t know whether this is a tram or a train. It’s underground, and it’s hugely crowded above ground. But I was just a visitor that was curious about tires, so I don’t know for sure that my understanding is correct.

          Still super nifty I’d say!
