Milan Tram Derails: Liepāja Residents Say 'Ours Don't Do That'

In Milan, a city where fashion week is more important than traffic rules, a tram decided to show its creative side and ran off the tracks straight into a building. Two people died in this unfortunate maneuver, which, by the way, happened just days after the Olympics ended. Perhaps the tram still thought it was participating in some extreme sport.

The Liepāja tram depot received this news with pride. "See how they manage over there," comments experienced driver Jānis, who has been operating our famous Route 5 for 20 years. "Our tram drives better even with eyes closed. And if one derails, it's only because the tracks themselves ran away."

Milan prosecutors are now investigating whether the driver had fallen asleep, as he had missed one stop before the accident. In Liepāja, tram drivers wouldn't be persecuted for such an error - here we call it "creative route interpretation." Besides, our tram never misses a stop - it just sometimes decides that a particular stop isn't fashionable enough for its taste.

By the way, the Milan tram was modern and had only been running for a few months. In Liepāja, we take pride in trams that are older than some of the city's residents and still run like new. That's a real testament to quality - if a tram can survive Liepāja winters and Karosta streets, then it can handle anything.
