Which leaves me wondering what would happen on a Sydney tram if an entire
symphony orchestra decided to board at the one stop. Would the tram
crewmember who was not the motorman/driver sell the orchestra tickets, or
would he/she tap a ballpoint pen on something metallic, and then proceed to
direct the orchestra through a renedition of "The Sydney Railway Waltz"
(185?)?
