Тусон,  United Streetcar 200T  № 101

North 4th Avenue

The sale and possession of firearms is permitted in this state. So they are very tolerant, but there are limits: shooting at a police officer is forbidden and that is exactly what happened (again: apparently not so exceptional there) during my visit, causing a large part of the tram service to be interrupted. The interruption lasted until the end of the service, although the centre had been cleared earlier. The reason is that until the end of the investigation (which lasts all day) the police want to be free to park their vehicles everywhere and not be hindered by trams...

North Warren Avenue

The last section of the route is single track. Even at the end there is no second track available. From an operational point of view, this is a failure.

North 4th Avenue

The trams run for free. More than half of the required income is generated from advertising, while there are also sponsors: these are companies and institutions that have an interest in ensuring that public transport works. The city therefore has to contribute very little.

Тусон,  United Streetcar 200T  № 104

East Helen Street (endstation)

The end station has only one track, which I find incomprehensible. It is not unusual for the next tram to have to wait minutes at the previous stop.

This tram was recently restored to running order, including the equipment with a pantograph and a converter from 600 V to 750 V. It is hoped that one day this tram will be able to run in Tucson itself, but at the time of the shooting (2022) this is impossible. The tram has been in working order since 2015 but has never been able to run.

27 years before taking this photo, I photographed the same tram in Toronto:
