One component I forgot to look close at were the lights and lamps. And ask questions about, as well
No doubt there will be no incandescent bulbs on the vehicles, but would they be using LED tubes instead of fluorescent tubes? Currently, the LED tubes are still expensive, but do without an electrical inductive ballast. Once they get lower in price, I will be replaced my fluorescent tubes in my home with LED tubes and bypassing the ballasts. The LED tubes could last 15 years, half the life of the new streetcars. (Outliving most buses.)
