Tramvaje světa - Pozoruhodné tramvajové systémy - tratě i vozidla – Harák Martin (2025)

Riding a tram has an irresistible charm. It is an eco-friendly mode of transport that allows you to move quickly and cheaply around large cities and their surroundings, admire landmarks and interesting buildings, and perhaps appreciate historical vehicles and modern technical solutions. This lavish publication by a renowned author offers an overview of the most interesting tram systems, organized into chapters by continent. Europe receives the most attention, but we will also visit more distant parts of the world: America, Asia, Africa, Australia, and New Zealand. From each continent, operations are selected that stand out for something special – the composition of vehicles, a special route, or an interesting history. For example, in San Francisco, fast urban trams operate alongside historical lines with original vehicles in regular service, as well as a network of quite unusual cable cars. In Latvia, the United States, Ukraine, or North Korea, trams of Czech origin run on the tracks. And as a bonus, you will learn how Japanese ticket machines are used. The book is full of attractive, often unusual, and unique photographs, and it also includes orientation maps of tram networks and an overview of basic technical data.
