I much more like those from Bordeaux

These are pretty cool, they use a hybrid power source (not sure how it's called). They have overhead wires on most tracks, and they switch to ground power when entering the city center.

Yeah, it's only annoying when they inevitably have electrical problems once winter comes haha

Same. The fuckers ripped them out because they thought cars were the future.

Those are beautiful. They look so aerodynamic without being awkward, I'm in love.
