    Nowadays trams can go pretty fast. Plus, a better aligned railway and a better suspension means that they became.uch more quiet.

    I just hope that someday we will see more of those used in large cities

      Hopefully but I’m doubtful. My city (st Louis) has burned millions in a trash can of trying to get a singular, less than 5 mile, trolley working for more than a month and failed miserably. It’s been a major embarrassment that they’ve been entirely capable of getting it to run reliably down one mostly flat, straight street.
