Russia’s new tram is a Batmobile on the outside, tech hub on the inside

To begin with, it looks like the Bat­mo­bile on a closed track — and for good rea­son. The forward-tilted wind­shield helps the con­duc­tor spot pedes­tri­ans, while the glass com­pos­ite pan­els are easy to replace. The tram is cutting-edge on the inside, too. Dynamic LED light­ing and music change the cabin mood to suit the time of day. You’ll also find posi­tion­ing (GPS and GLONASS), air con­di­tion­ing, anti-bacterial hand rails and WiFi. The dri­ver even gets a USB 3.0 port that can keep a phone pow­ered up.
