Personal thoughts on the new trams vs the old trams:

• the new trams have no stairs
• the old trams have stop buttons that are (theoretically) reachable from every seat

Thus, I can express no preference. While my knees complain sometimes when mounting the stairs into the old trams, when trying to get off of the new ones, I must get up and go to the doors in order to press the stop button, then sit down again until it actually stops, lest I fall over when it makes sudden (and not so sudden) movements like this mornings' bus.

Actually, yes, I can express a preference. You can wipe the old trams' seats off with a damp cloth before sitting down, as they're vinyl, not fabric. The new ones have fabric seats, and cannot be cleared of whatever debris has accumulated there without removing the seat.
