That's a _very_ small tram, smaller than most buses.

That's a _very_ small tram, smaller than most buses.
It's not smaller than most of the buses that run in the existing Stagecoach and National Express fleets that go around and to and from Coventry, which seat approximately 30 people on a single-decker with standing room for about 10 more (in the best case, with no push-chairs, trolleys, or wheelchairs).
I assume 56 is the capacity that they advertise but people will cram in like sardines when it’s rush hour
The buses around here advertise a capacity of 90, and the trams a capacity of 400.
