If I am asked to pick a word to describe the tram -- the oldest public transportation in Hong Kong, running since 1904, I would choose bizarre. It is bizarre in the sense that its existence is actually contrary to the living qualities modern people pursue in everyday life.

It is not efficient in terms of speed. It is not comfortable as there is no air-conditioning or nice fabric seating. Unlike the bus or minibus, where the passengers can enjoy TV or the radio, there is no entertainment provided.

Nevertheless, the tram has run on the Hong Kong Island for more than a century, and I am pretty sure that we will hear the ?ding-ding? sound ringing from the tram for a long period of time.
