Every day, we need to take a Tram or bus to City to work or go to school. Sometimes I can't help but wonder what kind of transportation people used to take. Were they as convenient and comfortable as we are at that time?
Today, the time Jun will take you to take a ride Adelaide's old age means of transportation.
The destination of this trip is the tram museum (The Tramway Museum), located north of Adelaide, from downtown Adelaide, which is 40 minutes' drive from Adelaide along Highway A1. But the museum is so proud that it only opens on Sundays, from 12:00 to 5 p.m. Tickets are not expensive, $10 for adults, $7 for Concession, and $28 for two adults and two children.
Like many suburban museums, it looks like a few dilapidated warehouses, but when you look at it, you can see what's different.
Through the gate, the first thing to see is a row of neat Tram, styles, is the product of different ages. There are five, namely, Type F _ 1 264 TRAM, 1918, Type C 186 TRAM, 1924, Type G 303 TRAM, and Type H _ 1 381 TRAM., 1952.
Although the TRAM are big and big, they are still old enough to run around the museum's tracks every Sunday.
When you buy a ticket, you will get a pass, and once you have it, you will be able to ride the TRAM. here on an unlimited number of times and at any time on the same day.
While the TRAM looks much the same, in fact the ride experience for each TRAM is completely different, but it is clear that these TRAM are far less comfortable than the TRAM running on the streets today. Each TRAM has different characteristics, but the specific characteristics of the times will not be disclosed, it is up to us to feel it.
There are three warehouses, two for Chen Fang TRAM, a Chen Fang bus. In the warehouse of Chen Fang TRAM on the right-hand side of the door, the first thing to see was the TRAM, originally made in 1929, and the other TRAM. The TRAM was dark blue, the interior was embellished with dark blue and brown, and there were gold tassels on the curtains. It looks very classical and extravagant. There are also bars and bathrooms on this TRAM.
Further ahead, you can see the 1908 A-1 TRAM, which is Adelaide's first TRAM, Adelaide, and it's all about today's traffic.
Most of the TRAM in the museum is open to the outside world, and travelers can go inside the TRAM to see if some of the TRAM's cabins are even open to the outside world, although most of the facilities in the cab have been damaged and various moving parts have been stuck to death. But you can still be an old TRAM driver in the cab.
Across the parking lot at TRAM, opposite the warehouse is the second TRAM warehouse, the main feature of which is the two Malathams. It is hard to imagine a few decades ago it was Malatram that brought Ade residents to every corner of the city. As far as the times know, only the port of Viktor sightseeing Malatram is still in operation.
Go out into the right-hand warehouse, where all kinds of buses are parked. The bus at that time looked a bit strange. Probably because the bus and the TRAM are the same style, it feels like TRAM replaced its iron wheels with normal wheels.
When Zejun was a child, he could only see the car in magazines and cartoons. Today, he suddenly saw it face to face, feeling like a toy that had been magnified dozens of times in front of him, and couldn't help but touch it.
In the corner of the warehouse was a 1932 bus, No. 216, called the Goddess of Green, paired with green and beige, with round headlights, like a big toad lying on the ground. According to the introduction, this is a double-decker bus, but whatever the times can not find the way to the roof.
These buses look almost the same from the outside as they are today, but in fact there is a big difference. The times have been driving for a few years. They call themselves old drivers, but when he sees these old cars, he instantly dumps his eyes. The dashboard on the bus doesn't understand, steering wheel, gearshift handle, throttle and other parts look very old and complicated, give me the words dare not open.
On the whole, its style is similar to that of the abandoned town that Zejun visited last time. It is a scenic spot that can experience history on the ground, but it is closer to the city and has more to experience. Visit these historical attractions, in addition to a more in-depth understanding of Adelaide's history and culture. How's it going? you want to join us?
