What kind of car you are driving with ?

By coincidence I had to visit my workplace this evening and during the trip I browsed through Metro (the giveaway magazine). There was an article about the prototype tram, have a look at the PDF and find the "HKL Linjalla" section from the end.

Here's some info and some pics in Finnish: http://koti.nettilinja.fi/~ahellman/news/uutiset3.htm

My mother has a Nissan Micra (2001 - Like this one, but grey), and my father has a Honda Civic (1999 - Like this one, but dark green).

Now the Lisbon trams (and buses)... There used to be tram rails almost everywhere in the city back in the early 90s, but most of them have been removed and now the main public transportation vehicle is bus. However, there are some areas where trams are still used (the older areas of the city), and in downtown Lisbon there are modern trams. The older trams were built by Carris (the Lisbon public transportation company http://www.carris.pt - no English version, unfortunately), most of them were bidirectional. They are being used since the late 20s. The modern ones are built by Siemens/Duewag.

The older trams look like this:
Picture 1 - I TOLD you they were used the the OLDER areas of Lisbon
Picture 2
Picture 3 - Good picture. The tram n.28 is the most well-known
Picture 4 - A regular tram and a tourism tram.

The new ones (by Siemens/Duewag):

The old (not used anymore) buses:
Daimler Fleetline #811 - Double decker.
AEC Regal of 1948
Leyland (Guy) Victory (1967) - They were more common than the Regal

The buses we use:
Volvo (old model) - 4 or 5 years ago these where the most common, now they are being replaced by more modern ones.
Volvo (articulated)
Volvo (gas-powered)
MAN (minibus) - Used mostly in narrow-street routes in the older areas of Lisbon
Mercedes-benz (low floor)
Mercedes 4100 series
Volvo (tourism) - Open-top, sight-seeing tourism bus)


I can't find pictures of the others, so here's a list of all of them:

828 buses:

674 Standard
Volvo B59 - 184
Volvo B10R - 90
MAN SL200 - 112
MAN SL200F - 84
Mercedes-Benz O405
N2 - 110
Mercedes-Benz O530
Citaro – 39
Volvo B7L - 35
Volvo B10L (gas-powered) - 20

90 Articulated
Volvo B10M

40 medium-sized
MAN 10150 HOCL

24 Mini-sized
Renault B120

To end this HUGE post (sorry ), the Santa Justa elevator, the funiculars and the subway:

I don't drive a car in Hong Kong. Taking public transit and the MTR is way faster than driving. Who needs to pay 35.000 euro for a Smart car, 65.000 euro for a Mercedes E240????

I'm regularly driving Rover 200 (2000). Sometimes I drive also BMW 525D (2001) and Nissan Bluebird (1990). I like them all. Maybe Nissan the most.
