No matter what your religion or philosophy is, this is good news for telling the world about modern streetcars. Many Americans that live in transit deserts believe that streetcars are only San Francisco cable cars. More to follow. Pictures taken off web from German site. While in Krakow for a religious youth festival, the pope was transported by modern tram.

5:40 p.m.
Pope Francis has taken a ride with disabled young people through the heart of Krakow in an electric tram — underlining his mission to fight climate change and encouraging more concern for the disadvantaged.
When he was archbishop of Buenos Aires in his native Argentina, Francis rode public transport to inspire humility within the church hierarchy.
The tram was decorated in the Vatican colors of yellow and white. In place of the usual destination indicator were the words “Tram del Papa” — Italian for “the pope’s tram.”
His actual destination was Blonia, a park where young Catholics participating in World Youth Day were gathering.
