Transport stops resembled their brethren everywhere
Pedestrian signal buttons lit red once depressed
Big yellow trams (trolleys) where seen everyplace
Right of way typically down parklike center of street
Sleek trolleys pass statues
Trolleys even ran through the Market Square
Bold ads graced trolley sides
Each trolley car was double articulated to take tight turns
A major terminus was outside Karlsruhe Hauptbahnhof
Trolley terminus viewed outside entry to zoo
Large signs showed arrival times for trolleys
Trolleys shared intersections with automobiles
Seating was available in the rear
Pedestrian wait-signals prevented accidents Some stations were only delineated by a low fence Heavy traffic emerged from under the railroad station On narrow streets the trolley barely cleared parked cars An ad for Don Carlos added excitement to the trolley stop Repairs were undertaken while the system continued to run
Trolleys could appear large and overwhelming Buses and taxi's were present
