Sintra Electric (2014)Sintra to Praia das Maçãs on the vintage interurban tramway. The car used was 'Cross Bench' No 6. This video is in 'real time'. The trip is about 40 minutes, which is a long run for a 100+ year old tram, and the €3 fare for a one way trip is good value. The little 4 wheel tram can only hold approx 30 passengers. There were no signs to the Sintra station and the tourist loop buses don't go to it's station. Given the limited capacity of the trams this is probably just as well. The only down side of the operation is the excessive amount of flange squeal in the many curves.By Matthew Geier - September 7, 2014.

Sintra Electric Cab Ride (2017)Today, I drove our "Panzer." With the good weather coming, it is very unlikely that we will use it again in the days we hope for, but today was negative for the approaching summer, and the old Panzer was called once again for service. It is the one with the 36 minutes. It is thunderous, but it breaks like hell. With all its defects, it is the F1 here in the fleet!By António Marques - May 21, 2017.
