If you like German tram/trolley systems then take a look at this video. It is best viewed in "full screen" mode.

I was not aware that Berlin had such an extensive tram system. There are several different types of trams in operation. The system seems extremely well maintained.

Take note of the tram signal system and watch how it is coordinated with the motor vehicle traffic signals. The tram signals are very easy to figure out just by watching what happens at car stops and intersections. Note also the very fast, very smooth and very quiet operation of the system. This video is of Line 63. Check out some of the other lines on the YouTube page.
