I’ve been in Medellin, Colombia for a few weeks now and have been using the Metro (wagons are so wide!) and MetroCable systems, but yesterday finally used the Tranvia (tramway). It is a Translohr system - overhead catenary, single track, and running on rubber tires.  It was new technology to me.  Interesting as well to see the system running along a busy pedestrianization street, with little or no separation between trains and street life.

Overall, a great transit system that has had a profound impact on the city and its culture.
