The advertising livery doesn't mean just a few panels stuck to the sides & front of a tram. It's a complete 360° wrap and (done properly) can look amazing. They're designed to be eye catching & I'm quite certain that also includes their art trams. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melbour...

It's not as bad as you think. The default PTV livery is multiple shades of green & yellow on a white background - slightly updated by Yarra Trams since the early 2010s. There's still some of the older MMTB livery that can be seen on the City Circle route (in addition to the heritage colours).

Safety, maintenance & accessibility issues lead to their demise on general passenger services.

Don't despair. there are still many W-class trams in operational condition. 11 of them are in Melbourne running the (free) City Circle tourist service. They're also running or being restored in regional cities like Bendigo, Launceston etc and (as you've pointed out) some are overseas.

Nicely framed juxtaposition.

Melbourne invariably gets COLD winters and HOT summers. Why have the doors open when no one is getting on or off? 🤔
