DE "SNELTRAM", EEN HERORIENTATIE OMTRENT INTERLOKALE TRAMS

The "Sneltram" is no panacea for solving all traffic and transport problems, but a means of filling the gap left by the railway and the metro on the one hand and the bus on the other hand. The report sets out the many possibilities of the "Sneltram". This modern tram is a quality transport system: comfortable, regular, relatively quick, safe, aesthetically justified and causing a minimum of pollution. /TRRL/
