| Because
every streetcar stop displays the time the next train will be coming,
streetcars allow transportation on demand. Unlike busses
with confusing, printed schedules based on time points instead of
stops, streetcars have electronic displays that inform passengers
exactly when the next streetcar will arrive. If
it is a pleasant day, someone might begin walking to their destination
and hop on the streetcar when it catches up to them. Or if it
is raining, a passenger can wait, dry and out of the rain,
under one of the shelters until the streetcar arrives.
Because streetcars pull right up to the curb, hardly a drop of
water will be felt when boarding. |
