More cycle friendly tram

I recently (June) used one of these new trams in Padua, Italy and was very impressed by
their speed, riding qualities and capacity (and popularity).
A notable feature is the single guide rail/ rubber
tire system which I suspect would dramatically reduce construction costs - it
could also potentially address some of the issues associated with dual tram
tracks and cyclists.

Because of their lower construction costs, this type of
system could potentially provide a viable light rail option for Christchurch
(and rule out any expansion of the existing tourist tram route on the grounds it
that it could form the basis of a city wide light rail system).
They are manufactured by a company in France, and
have been/ are being installed in three other European cities and a city in
China. There is a website is at: http://www.lohr.fr/transport-public_gb.htm .
