New Orleans Streetcars: Green Cars

The New Orleans streetcar system features five historic and modern lines. 

The iconic dark green St. Charles line is the world's oldest continuously operating streetcar, running from Downtown through the Garden District to Carrollton.

New Orleans Streetcars: Red Cars

Streetcars are a convenient way to experience the many areas of New Orleans. 

There are four distinct lines, each originating Downtown, will take us through the French Quarter and beyond.

I Take Breakfast While Viewing Tateyama Mountains

Views from the hotel restaurant we stayed in Toyama city were very nice. We could see beautiful Tateyama Mountains at a breakfast table.

Following movies are collections of running trams in Toyama. I did not ride on them but they seemed to be newer body and louder approaching announces than that of in Osaka.

Vehicles in Rome

They call it metro, that is subway. Subway system is not so complicated as that of in Tokyo and easy to use.

A tramcar or a streetcar is also useful for tourists.

A double‐decker bus and a horse wagon are for tourists. Local citizens rarely use them, I think.

An airport shuttle bus is easy to use but a public bus is not. Because they do not call the name of the bus station, we have to be careful where we are in the bus.

Otherwise, you will easily miss the destination you have to get off.

A river boat is also for tourists. It seems like a double-decker bus which runs on the river.

I took the following video on our way back to the airport running near the Colosseo.

I Take a Ride on a Tramcar in Tokyo

Tokyo is famous for its wide spread subway systems. People are able to go wherever they want  in downtown Tokyo by them.

But, they still have tramcars which run rather slow comparing with cars and underground trains.

My wife and I took a ride on an Arakawa-Line car.

I don't think it is difficult to replace them with high speed trains or subway, though I hope Tokyo keeps those classic cars running which run for more than a century.

It is said that the Arakawa Line started its operation in 1911.

What a history it is!
