"I'm puzzled when people say the Swiss have good transportation because they're rich. It has nothing to do with that. They're still using trams from 1970. They restore them every 7 years. Making do is part of the culture. If you're using trams for 50 years, that's a hell of a savings."

@straphanger In Melbourne too we still have trams on regular routes which were built in the 1970s. :)

@timrichards @straphanger In Poland, we buy decades-old German trams to replace Polish trams from the same era (although that is becoming rather less common as import supplies are dropping and Modertrans has established itself as a domestic budget option)
