WW> Hello all fellows in Australia,
WW> After reading a lot of articles about the mess re tvms, I wonder why no-
WW> one had the idea to put signs on each tram that indicate whether the tram
WW> has a roving or a seating conductor, or is a driver-only tram, or even is
WW> fitted with a tvm. What makes me even more wonder is a picture on page 18
WW> in the book "Destination City." On that picture, a A-class tram carries a
WW> sign "Enter by any door." The caption includes the r*sum* "The wording
WW> 'enter by any door' below the driver's window was an experiment which was
WW> not repeated."
Even Sydney buses (at the time some carried conductors) could display "PAY
AS YOU ENTER" on their number 2 and 3 boxes to indicate that the bus had no
conductor and you had to enter by the front door.
It is incredible that Melbourne Trams can't come up with a similar system.
Regards,
Albert.
