Here's the Wildwood, NJ Boardwalk Tramcar

I hate those things.
They look ridiculous, and make the passengers look like idiots.
also, they are blocking traffic.

The english town of Southport had a Pier Tram on actual tracks.

Until this year when it was replaced by road-running one like in this thread.

What retarded bullshit is this? The pier tram was literally the only reason for anyone to ever go to Southend.

Why? using regular tires means that it's route isn't fixed and is easy to change?

Because look at the boardwalk. They're already running on a concrete path built specifically for the Sightseer, might as well go a step further and lay down actual tracks. It's not like that train is deviating from that concrete path so it is essentially a fixed route without even having fixed rails.

Tracks are easy to trip over, expensive to install, and maintenance in the road tram is simpler
