This is really cool. Here in Ottawa, Canada some buses have bike racks on the front. The driver waits while the rider loads or unloads their bike from the rack. I didn’t see it used much (haven’t taken public transit for years) but I think it’s a good idea.
This tram goes up a steep hill. On the ground you can see a third line of “tracks”. Those a for a gear the tram uses to pull itself up the hill. It’s the only one in Stuttgart that has that.
Because that hill is so steep, they allow bikers to take their bike with them and because many use that offer, they added the extra bike carriage.

Why don’t they just… ride the bikes?
