Peter Witt Streetcars Milano, Italia - December 29, 2016

This video is raw footage from inside a Series 1500 Peter Witt Streetcar and exterior urban scene footage at various locations in Milan along the 1 Line. Peter Witt revolutionized streetcar and tram design by using the center door as an exit only, with the front and rear for entrance. Passengers could pay either on entry or exit and the design reduced dwell time at stops. Modern trams and buses throughtout Europe use this system today. The Series 1500 Peter Witt streetcars run on Milan's 1, 2, 5, 14, 23, and 29/30 tram lines. They were introduced in 1928, which means they'll turn 90 in 2018. The current livery is yellow and white, though many of them are now rolling billboards, including wavy parapets on the roofs to carry even more ad space. The Milan cars use a pantograph and track gauge is 4' 8 7/8" (Italian Gauge). They are also operating in Naples, though they are heavily rebuilt and modified with a totally different look and aesthetic. The only Peter Witt streetcars remaining in service in the United States are on San Francisco's F Line. The F line streetcars use a trolley pole and wheel. Incidentally, the F line streetcars originated in Milan. Peter Witt streetcars and the Trieste-Opicina Tram share the same unique sound signature when accelerating from a dead stop. It is pronounced and loud - you can hear it from up to three NYC blocks away. These beautiful living monuments feature mahogany bi-fold doors, benches, windows and frames, and tulip-shaped glass lampshades. They hearken back to simpler times. That they have been in service for 89 years is testament to the pride and workmanship that went into them. Notice the woodwork and the heavy chains that raise and lower the windows, and the step that comes out as the doors open. The engineering that went into them works just as well today as it did nearly 90 years ago. Fare is paid by validating a paper ticket or using a smartphone app provided by ATM Milano.
