    There’s a similar system for buses in Geneva. The bus recharges for 20 seconds while the passengers get off and on during stops.

      Thanks for the link :)

      I had heard of battery busses but never battery trams… It feels so weird to do, if you’re already committing to a rail system, is a third rail or over head cabling that much more of an investment? That tram has a battery that’ll need replacing at some point and I am really curious when the cost of replacing batteries will over take cost of a third rail/pantograph system.

      This is genuine curiousity, not me just ragging on battery tech
