The title of this post is, actually, a terrible and not funny joke. It won’t take much time for you to decipher what the joke is about. But, as a kick-off hint, the post is actually about trams. The un-funny part is that we’re featuring trams down-under. And not just your everyday down-under. We don’t often get a chance to feature this location, but this post will bring joy and information to anyone who wants to know more about – you guessed it- New Zealand and its trams. It’s a well-understood phenomenon that everyone loves trams. They’re fun. They’re cute. They’re colourful and they’re nothing like almost any other mode of city transport. Let’s be honest: how many times do you get to hang – arms and legs akimbo – on a bus or a train? That’s a thrill for almost anyone. Well, if trams and New Zealand are on your list of things to investigate, or – even better – take action in real life – then this is the post for you.
