The scenes here are from a lovely film showing operations on the last
tramway system operational in India. Despite being seriously under-funded,
it still provides a very useful service in one of the most densely inhabited
cities of the world, using articulated trams rebuilt with considerable
ingenuity from older stocks. Limited commentary, mostly confined to historic details, and stills, but with sound recorded on location, this is a most interesting film showing not just the trams, but the fascinating city they serve.

Not a traffic light in sight - great place for motorists then..
