	Brussels trams - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trams are double-ended and double-sided, and some stub termini in the middle of the road remain (55), although most have loops.
		Very old trams, which still collect their current through trolley poles rather than pantographs, are normally restricted to the scenic line from Cinquantenaire park via Woluwe to Tervuren, which is run with the help of volunteers from the preservation society MTUB (Museum of Brussels Urban Transport).
		As of 2005, Brussels tram 7037 is in San Francisco, intended to operate on line F, surreally repainted in the blue-and-white livery of Zürich.

	Tervuren - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is linked to Brussels by a magnificent processional avenue (Tervurenlaan/Avenue de Tervueren) built by king Leopold II in time for the Universal Exhibition of 1897.
		This evolved in the castle of Tervuren, residence of the dukes of Brabant in the 14th and 15th centuries.
		Tram 44 which goes from Brussels to Tervuren, and the Royal Museum for Central Africa are both in Tervuren thanks to King Leopold II.

	Urban Transport Technology - Brussels Public Transport Network
		The Brussels Metro is operated by Societé des Transports Intercommunaux de Bruxelles (STIB), which is also responsible for a 133km tram network (12km of which is in tunnels).
		Brussels is also a central hub in the European high-speed rail network and main lines that radiate from the city are undergoing construction and upgrading as part of a Europe-wide initiative to link all the countries' capital cities with a high-speed rail network.
		Brussels is the fourth city in Belgium to implement such a scheme.

	Belgium
		The city of Brussels and nearby areas are served by the STIB/MVIB - which shows the bilingual nature of the country of Belgium.
		Brussels is diverse in its transport modes — in addition to the ubiquitous bus, there are trams in both street and underground ("premétro") operation, and heavy rail (which originally started out as underground tram tunnels).
		In #1, a newer model tram will be heading off to the left, while the other (and the one in #2) are older models that are reminiscent of the American PCC trams — in fact, Belgium was one of the greatest producers of PCC-style trams in western Europe.

	Brief history (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The Belgian constitution, approved on February 7, 1831, proclaimed Brussels as the capital and seat of the government of the new country of Belgium.
		The positive experience with electric trams encouraged the Brussels Tramway Co to convert many existing lines and gradually to electrify the whole of the network To meet the demand for additional electric power, a new power station was opened on June 27, 1903 by King Léopold II.
		The existing trams and trailers were modernised and a new series of car, the P.C.C. and classified as the 7000 series, was introduced.

		Brussels (French: Bruxelles, Dutch: Brussel; [1]) is the capital of Belgium and also - unofficially - of the European Union.

	Scotsman.com News - Edinburgh transport plans - Why is Edinburgh alone in its drive for new trams?
		PLANS to restore trams to the streets of Scotland's capital for the first time in more than 50 years are coming under growing pressure after it emerged that Edinburgh is now the only local authority in Britain that is pressing ahead with a new scheme.
		Trams are still in use here in Toronto and where they have their own right of way they relieve congestion, but in other spots they slow traffic flow.
		Tram schemes in many other countries have often been successful, in terms of providing benefit to transport users and easing congestion, because they carry large numbers of people directly to the places to which they need to go.

		Brussels has quite a compact city centre where most of the attractions can be visited on foot but there are a few such as the Atomium in Heysel and the Parc du Cinquantenaire that require public transport.

		As far as the trams are concerned, even though I've been to Brussels before, I have never taken any public transportation (except the train).
		The 81 tram may get you slightly closer, but that line always runs older trams which are slow, very jerky (you better be hanging on tight if they make any sudden stops) and usually quite crowded.
		Drivers in Brussels tend not to be particularly respectful of pedestrians...

		The roads of Brussels are a menace, and I would urge all travellers and tourists not to let their guard down for an instant.
		It is possible to buy your tram ticket directly from the driver as you board the tram, or from most newsagents found near tram stops.
		In any case, since the tickets are transferrable from metro to bus to tram in Brussels, Mark could easily have bought one from a machine and used it on the tram.
