Just this week, government, Victoria, announced that trolley cars, one of the historic city signs of Melbourne, would be available for sale to the public.
For just $1000, everyone has a chance to take the old car home.
Government, Victoria, is looking for a new home for these retired trams.
As early as 1923, these trams were built and put into operation in Melbourne rail transit, serving more than 60 years.
Trams were gradually phased out, and some trains had been graying in workshops since 1990.
According to the Victorian Transportation Secretary, 134 old tram cars will be sold to the public.
"as an important member of Melbourne's public transport history, these obsolete trams will be reborn with a new mission, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
These trams will be free to non-profit groups, including schools and communities. For individuals and businesses, $1000 will be charged, including transportation charges.
Twenty graffiti carriages will be displayed in galleries for public viewing at Fitzroy High School, and the obsolete carriages will be converted into kitchens.
The person who has the intention to purchase will need to explain how to store, maintain, and phase out the purpose of the use of the car, and the application will be open on 28 May-6 July, and a large number of applications are expected to be received. The MOTC is of the view that it is most important to put these out-of-phase trains into the community.
"even if these trams can no longer play a role in the transportation system, we hope they can be used by the community."
These trams once served millions of Victorians, testing the history and development of the state. I hope that in the days after their retirement, they will also be able to "exert the waste heat" to benefit the community.
And as a national treasure-class tram, why should we go off the shrine and go to the broad masses of the people?
Originally, Mal Rowe of the Australian Tramways Museum Council said, "since the 1990s, a lot of trams have been idle and trams that do not travel on tracks can only be turned into a large pile of scrap iron. As the number of abandoned trams increases, we are less and less sure what to do, so let the masses take advantage of them. "
So, 237 retired trams, 134 are waving to us!
Australian people have been unable to sit down, this cheap who does not take, who is melon!
Because, over the years, the revaluation potential of tram transformation can be quite large, there are a lot of people buy low-cost, but earn a lot of money!
It is expected that there will be a wave of tram hotels, tram restaurants and tram apartments.
Let's play with each other, please!
