	TMSV: Here comes the rain again - Melbourne tram shelters
		Visibility of oncoming trams from the interior was excellent due to the stylish windows, and the parliamentary passengers could rest their weary feet inside, well protected from the vagaries of Melbourne weather.
		One tram shelter design requirement that we have not discussed, which has only become more prominent over the last couple of decades, is the need to provide a sense of security at night, particularly to ensure that intending passengers feel safe and secure in patronising Melbourne’s tram system.
		This effectively outsources the provision and maintenance of tram shelters from the tramway operator, as well as providing a substantial improvement in the appearance of tram shelters and brightening the general streetscape at night [5].

	Myth: Tram passengers benefit from fewer tram stops
		In reality, the optimum spacing of tram stops is a complicated trade-off involving many factors, such as the local urban geography, the speed of the average walker, and the characteristics of the vehicle itself.
		On Route 109 in Balwyn, the spacing is closer to 300 metres, which is roughly the optimum given the longer journeys typically made on that route.
		Because Tram C was right behind, the driver of Tram B decided to run express through most of the stops on the way to the city: it in fact made no more than 5 stops out of 15 between Glenlyon Road and Parliament station.
