LOL ROFL. That guy got really owned. Well, that's what he get for being in such a hurry and ignoring everything. If that happens in metrosim, I'll proabably burst out laughing and then I would say: "That's what you get for being a hurrying ignoramus! Do you know what we say in Czech republic about hurrying? Be in hurry slowly."

But just imagine, a full street traffic when driving a tram in metrosim. Many of us will proabably quit driving a tram soon, because of a frequent near misses with cars and pedestrians. Maybe it's different in Netherlands, but in Czech republic the cases of near misses with cars and pedestrians are a bit frequent, sometimes leading into crash. And honestly if I crash into a car with tram, I wouldn't laugh. I will be like "Holy [expletive censored]! :shock: That was bad! I hope they're okay in that car. :|
Later I'll upload here a video made by one tram driver - vlogger from Prague, who caught his accident on camera.

EDIT: as promised. I there's a video I mentioned. Sorry for the czech text and dialogue, but I added timestamps below video with translations of the text and dialogue.

Totally cool. Perhaps some variations (Such as the original "E" trains or the modernised 81-717 or 81-765 trains to fit the modern setting) would be a great addition since, In a story sense "The city seemed to have a good reputation with the Russian firms", which also may have lead to the creation of the "KTM Citylink".
