Trams, Trolleys and Streetcars

Calgary C-Train LRT at Saddletowne Station

Visited #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada in April and wanted to check out the state of its public transit system.

My very first thought: Would it kill the people of Calgary to make a <5 km Blue Line extension to #YYC? You got so close, and the land in that area is so open and flat. Plus, there is an unfathomable amount of space for parking.

The Fujisawa Shonan Monorail that runs between the Shonan Station and the Ofuna Station.

See a clip of it moving here

In Yuru Camp S03e11, this decommissioned trolley is mentioned as being in "Fujisawa Nagasawa Park" but I can't find any references to such a park online.

Does anyone know where this is?

There's a tag saying "Chinese" but the destination sign in the front says 銀座 i.e. "Ginza" which implies this tram ran in Tokyo. Also, this website is "offbeatjapan.org" and the photographer Jordy Meow's brief biography says he's based in Tokyo.

i.e. I'm pretty darn sure this was taken in Japan

I took this picture when visiting Hong Kong.

Someone's video of the ride experience: https://www.skipvids.com/?v=nJmJhJsFNPk

A better look at one of the cars when it first arrived, or in maintenance?

You can see the older suspended cable tram system in the background in the above photo.

A more realistic view of what the ride is like...
