Does Sydney still have its "Tramway" - a bus painted as a tram that runs around
the city? They have something similar in Vancouver, too. As far as I've seen,
neither carry a fraction of the passengers that Melbourne's genuine tram City
Circle carries.

Mind you, when I was there in April '96, there were very few people using
Seattle's trams. But with a service frequency of 30 minutes in the daytime
(weekdays), what would you expect?
