Tramway Montréal
"Sur l’île de Montréal, le tracé sera dans l’axe des boulevards Maurice-Duplessis et Lacordaire, et de la rue Sherbrooke Est, entre le cégep Marie-Victorin et la gare de Pointe-aux-Trembles, le long de la ligne verte du métro."
Such tramways should not be confused with the metal tramlines on which the city's trams once ran on. However, they're both part of the same rich seam of technological developments going back as far as Ancient Greece (where they were used a paved trackway to help move boats across the Isthmus of Cornith) from which tramways, tramlines and railway lines all evolved to help make wheeled transport more efficient.
An iron kerb protector and tramway on Waterloo Lane in central Glasgow. Designed to make it easier for horses to pull carts up hills on cobbled streets, these metal ones were an updated version for the older stone tramways, which can still be found on some Glasgow streets.

New at my Patreon... On High Street in Thornbury we noticed a striking old building - a surviving tram depot from the days when the local council ran its own cable tramway:

BTW, is the famous Smoking #Cyberman (one of my favourite internet memes) in #Blackpool? It seems to be a seaside location, and there is what looks like #tramway #catenary in the background. Was there a #DoctorWho episode set in Blackpool. Or was it a Doctor Who exhibition?

@mattblaze: Wow, https://www.traintrackr.co.uk/product is a really cool idea. Unfortunately they so far cover only US metropolitan areas and #London. Would love to see something like the LED train maps for the #Zurich #tramway or the LED weather maps for countries from mainland Europe or maybe whole parts of Europe.
Remplacer des voies #automobiles par des couloirs #bus, une voie de #tramway ou une piste #cyclable, c'est faire le choix de permettre le #flux de plus de gens tout en occupant sur la voirie un espace équivalent voire moindre.
Ainsi, sur une bande de 3,50 de large, la voiture permet un flux de 1000 personnes/h, contre 5000 pour le bus, 6000 pour le #vélo, 10000 pour la #marche et 12000 pour un tramway, soit 12 fois plus !
