People don't realize that modern interiors are mostly fuel in solid form. That is why fires burn faster and hotter with more poisonous gases year by year: the places where live and play and work are more and more filled with things that catch fire in an instant. And don't trust in anything that has been treated with "flame retardants". At best it will give you 20-40 extra seconds before ignition. At best.

In the greater Tokyo Metropolitan area you will find the most skilled train drivers on the Fukutoshin Line, with a wide variety of companies, trains, timetables, routes and so on. But the most savvy riders or customers, are the veteran customers of the Keikyu line, easily the most demanding railway operator in the region. The red livery really means beware. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/dc05f6b1ec04ad4ffba1ff7872b3894709603e13598b92055c02b9718cf44e3f.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e48a3184aef9a773881cc3a8b8c30c0c49f6dc1eb6e2a41ae952638641dd5d96.file

Tram systems are expensive infrastructure projects to start but costs very little to run. It makes sense to use them as much as possible. Here's some cargo trams in Dresden (Germany), two from ZΓΌrich (Switzerland), and CityCargo in Amsterdam. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/2c47c2e62887cdd21e32e49bb04f970e66f605e9161d974c761e282c112d62fd.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/8f88c35f36a0f2d8a2e13d50c8d7684f548330ebb3109e975a718dca3f994fa9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/40883d579762fc6b765c32e25c679621aef14b19bbed34a25f717921b06ab550.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/6e4ec8570d576c298ff6c06c570fff5ee567692f160032249932a39425e71119.file
