Thankfully they dont do this on the streetcars in Seattle. Nobody even knows if junkies are on them cause nobody uses it.

It's a feature, not a bug. So the ruling class can further justify more spending it it. In order to make it work. Which they'll get, and it will never be fixed. It will always just get slightly better here and worse there. Ensuring decades of steady contracts to the politicians' benefactors.

This is what happens when women are in positions of decision making. They probably worried about every little thing except for designing a functional tram.

They do this in Seattle too and not only is it slow as fuck but the city buses have have to go around it or get stuck behind it too? I don’t understand why the fuck it exists.

Appears voters and shifts tax dollars to donors.

Public transit doesn't have to work. It just has to be there

That municipal governments elected with comically low turnouts are something to get rid off in the US.

Portland, Seattle, Kansas City, and all the other Euroboo cities don't actually know or care how trams work, they just wanted it for the aesthetics.
