Checking the Melbourne tram network map
Photo of a tram stop in the city, with plexiglass shelters on both sides. On the side closer to the photographer is a woman reading the Melbourne tram network map that’s attached to the inside of the shelter. The woman is visible only from the waist down, with the rest of her hidden behind the map. On the reverse of this map is a sign that reads “STOP. Your gran could be stopping off the tram today. When a tram stops, you stop.”. On the side further away from the photographer is a man sitting on a bench and looking at his smartphone while he waits for his tram.
