johng50 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hmmm brake failure or Brain failure, ( i think i know which one.) By the way hows the election going, they must be having trouble altering the results, stupid people must have used pens instead of pencils. makes it hard to rub out.

donim Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Rubber wheels? No guidance system on the road. A pantograph is seen in one of the picture. That is no tram. Only in very old text 'trackless tram' An trolleybus it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallen52 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Brake failure my @#% Going off the two main causes of deaths in Thailand, Brake failure (Thais) and suicide (farang) This place will never need to introduce euthanasia. If the brakes don't get you. You can always top yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inn Between Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It's funny how things change and alter our imaginations. Ten years ago or so, when I would read a topic title like "Thirty-Eight Tourists injured", I'd picture a bunch of farang. Now I picture a bunch of Chinese. I'm not saying that in a negative or racist way -- just an observation of what seems to be the changing demographics of Thai tourism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watson - a clever man in his own right speaking here, just finished his picknick and no nits to pick from a bald ball. ' It is your belief, Sherlock, but.. Train are connected lorries and or wagons, pulled by an loc or truck. RotMahKid, Trams don't need electric per se. In earlier ages they were pulled by horses and later on steam. Trams are guided on the road. Benmart, the zebrawagon in this thread is rolling on rubber wheels without any guidance on the road. That the power is fed from lines by an pantograp then it is an trolley. ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just for you.???? Pedantic, just for you, with descriptions from wiki: A tram is a rail-based public transport system A trolleybus is an electric bus that draws power from overhead wires using spring-loaded trolley poles. Two wires and poles are required to complete the electrical circuit. This differs from a tram or streetcar, which normally uses the track as the return path, needing only one wire and one pole. A bus is a road vehicle designed to carry many passengers. A coach is a bus used for longer-distance service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
