Light Rail Vehicles - LRT, ICTS, Monorail, and more
#12
I actually like the look of Brussels Flexity Outlook cars, the ones used in Vancouver during the Olympics.

And I understand why we really couldn't have high-floor operations (stations have to be massive because of wheelchair ramp angles), but I'm a fan of the Bombardier Flexity Swift 5000 in the Greater Manchester Metrolink system. They have such a cute design. That's also the system that really showcases the flexibility of LRT technology and routing, I think. I always supported LRT options, but I really understood it after riding that system.

EDIT: Coincidentally, the Greater Manchester ticket machines are built by the same company that's building the easyGO fare card system here.
