I have to say, I love the new Tram that’s running here in Portland. I don’t care if I never even ride the darn thing, I just like seeing it in action. The other morning I was driving down I-5 through some intense low lying fog. Just as I was driving under the tram cables, one of the pill cars burst through the fog with great majesty. Any Film Director would have given their Cinematographers left-arm for the shot.
Of course there are some stunning shots of the Tram up on Flickr (Like the one I stole for this post): tram, tram, tram.
Monorails are also cool. I want to live in a city with just monorails, trams, bicycles, and skateboards for transport. And flying skateboards.
