PhotoHunt - Public
Public is the word today and what better than Public Transport.
This rather old tram is wending it's way around the streets of Sofia in Bulgaria - a very cheap form of transport for the Public but a bit if a rickety ride ..
When I was little, there were still streetcars in Ottawa but they are long gone. Unfortunately, they were replaced with buses and now, of course, there is a move within the city to install light rail. Had they kept the streetcars, we'd already be a step ahead to having cleaner transportation.

Now you know why I never use public transport so much. I'll get dizzy easily... :P

Nice to see a place that is not too crowded. And is that a McDonald's at the corner? :D
i wish we have trams here. it's cheap, no air and noise pollution. great shot.
Nice photo, and great take on this weeks theme, have a wonderful weekend.
Maybe an old tram but it is still looking quite sleek and stylish and, more importantly, serviceable! Great shot!
why didn't I think of public transport? We don't have the trams anymore in Auckland.
I always use public transportation downtown. Nice urban view.
Happy weekend!

I have never seen Bulgaria before. I think I would have to ride this at least once if I was visiting there. It looks like an adventure.
Is that a double decker bus? That is so cool! Have a great Saturday.

Love to ride this kind of public transport. Great shot too!

These seem to be more modern than the ones I remember a few years back in Budapest.
I prefer the bicycle!
