		The first trams, known as streetcars or horsecars, were built in the US, and developed from city stagecoach lines and omnibus lines that picked up and dropped off passengers on a regular route and without the need to be pre-hired.
		Modern trams generally use overhead electric cables, from which they draw current through a pantograph, a bow collector (less commonly) or the now-rare trolley pole (the first is most common and used on most new tram designs).
		In Melbourne, in addition to newer types of trams in use such as the Citadis and the Combino and the middle-aged A, B and Z class trams, older W-class trams remain in service and are a popular tourist attraction.

		The first trams, known as streetcars or horsecars, were built in the US, and developed from city stagecoach lines that were developed into omnibus lines that picked up and dropped off passengers on a regular route and without the need to be pre-hired.
		Many North American cities abandoned their streetcar systems in the mid-twentieth century, their city governments having succumbed in the late 1940s to inducements from General Motors Company and Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, as these firms were eager to sell diesel-powered transit buses and rubber tyres, respectively.

		The trams are in the middle of the road in Melbourne, not along the sides as in most other cities.
		First time I tried the circle in Waco, I wound up getting in the inside lane (uh, well, what would be if anyone actually paid attention to the lane markers on it) and going around three times before exiting back where I started.
		I suspect that for circles with 3+ lanes, the idea is that the further 'round the circle you plan to go, the further inside the circle you should be, moving toward the outside as you get closer to your preferred exit.
