I love trains and trams. Johannesburg also had trams but it was about 50 years ago. In my language, Afrikaans, underground is ondergronds. People here use the word subway most of the time. I think it is because they hear it more than tube on the TV and in movies :)Johannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588120934444485158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19972585.post-57420033719587184452014-02-24T05:48:42.431-08:002014-02-24T05:48:42.431-08:00We still have trams in the cities but also subways...We still have trams in the cities but also subways, that's how I call it when I use the word in English, most people do here.<br /><br />Isn't the weather great? 14C today here, that's Spring weather.

Your comment reminds me that in the 1920s Los Angeles had a good public transpotation system which was dismantled (it was privately-owned). Nowadays, people who land at Los Angeles' airport can't take a train because the airport doesn't have one.<br />Some people blame the decline of Los Angeles' network of electric streetcars in part on the car maker companies. Maybe it was an attempt to make Americans dependent on cars, conisdering that streetcars and electric train systems were dismantled in 45 American cities! <br />Giorgiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16586919083285187135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19972585.post-66850933592825282702014-02-22T14:24:38.510-08:002014-02-22T14:24:38.510-08:00It's called many things here sometimes dependi...It's called many things here sometimes depending on the city.

Melbourne still has their old tram system and it's widely used and a bit of a tourist attraction. It makes me wonder why the trams were removed in Brisbane.Charhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13819714901550763235noreply@blogger.com
