April 8: People Entering / Exiting Tram
This is a picture of people entering and exiting a trolley located on the Moscow Tram system.
Moscow has one of the largest Tram networks in the world. A tram is an electrical powered car (trolley or tram) guided by railway tracks. In English terms, this system is usually referred to as light rail.
Transportation officials estimate only about 7 - 10% of the population in Moscow uses the Moscow Tram system in their daily commute. People tend to rely on the networks of buses, trolley buses (electric buses not guided by tracks), and metro for transportation. However, the trams are packed as tight as the metro cars during rush hour and remain the only available option of public transportation for some people in Moscow.
