How viable is battery tram technology right now, and will this change in the future? Does it provide real benefits to the system compared to overhead?

Not OP but iirc the Kaohsiung tram line is using battery tram.
The benefit is obviously the lack of catenary but I think the ground-powered version seems to be more competitive than battery-powered (or super capacitors)

Brookfield "Liberty" Tram

Isn't putting a 3-section tram on two bogies really bad for the joints? Doesn't it smush the parts together at a bad angle when going around curves? Why would they be designed like that?

And the ride quality is terrible on many of them, especially on 1st gen networks. The early Combinos were even recalled when cracks appeared in the frame.

Can we replace tram tracks with underground magnets that use some kind of induction to propel the tram? Hmm actually that might be more like a trolleybus than a tram

That wasn't because of the bogie configuration though, they were just very poorly constructed

Because no public transport these days is built to be directly economicaly profitable. The profit is more in the social and ecological aspect.

What is the most 80s-styled futurist tram you've ever seen?

Did you study people-movers? Are there other examples like the Atlanta airport Plane Train and the Stansted people-mover?

I need the most cassette-futurist short-distance transit option available, and I am relying on your phd abilities to sate my autism.

Well you don't lay down a whole network at once. Usually you'll start there where the streets have to be closed for road maintenance anyway. Clever city governments do road, rails, electricity and sewerage all at the same time so a street only needs to get closed for maintenance like once every 20 years.

Usually you only shut down one lane + the side parking at a time, sometimes both lanes of a single direction. Even then like >>1278895 said, only for a few blocks at a time.

Represent local residents and file lawsuits to prevent local transit projects from happening. I hear it's pretty lucrative. Great job security too.
