Photos From Half Way
Here are some photos from my trip to Eastern Europe. I'll describe more when I have time. I've taken about 200 photos so far so i'll get them up eventually.
Entrance to the oldest subway in mainland Europe.
The interior of the Combino Supra streetcar. Always packed.
The Vienna Metro. Comes every 5 minutes no matter what time of day. Even on Saturday and Sundays!!!
A newer Vienna Tram. Very Cool.
Still going to be slow on the posting. I'll try.

That Vienna tram looks like a Kawasaki Heavy Industries model. They're doing some cool stuff in Eastern Europe and the Pac Rim. Thanks for the pics!
NO the Vienna Ultra Low Floor cars [ULF for short] were designed by Porche and are built by Bombardier in Austria. They are filled with high-tech gizmos and are VERY expensive. Unfortunately, the ride quality and internal noise is less than impressive and no one except Vienna is buying them. For something 'cool' have a look at the new cars for Marseilles - also by Bombardier
The subways in Toront between 2.5, and 5 minutes all day, every day.
