Calgary C-Train at City Hall/BVC station
Calgary's transit downtown is reasonably decent, even if I would wish for more train lines going more places. They also have decently fast and frequent buses. The roadways are very wide and many one way, so it feels a little more hostile toward biking and walking compared to other Canadian cities.

Calgary C-Train LRT at Saddletowne Station
Visited #Calgary, #Alberta, #Canada in April and wanted to check out the state of its public transit system.
My very first thought: Would it kill the people of Calgary to make a \<5 km Blue Line extension to #YYC? You got so close, and the land in that area is so open and flat. Plus, there is an unfathomable amount of space for parking.

In Yuru Camp S03e11, this decommissioned trolley is mentioned as being in "Fujisawa Nagasawa Park" but I can't find any references to such a park online.
Does anyone know where this is?

There's a tag saying "Chinese" but the destination sign in the front says 銀座 i.e. "Ginza" which implies this tram ran in Tokyo. Also, this website is "offbeatjapan.org" and the photographer Jordy Meow's brief biography says he's based in Tokyo.
i.e. I'm pretty darn sure this was taken in Japan

A better look at one of the cars when it first arrived, or in maintenance?
