What does the proper technique of driving a tram consist of?
Explanation
Correct answer: A gentle start-up, coasting as long as possible and gentle braking.
Proper driving technique is based on the principles of defensive and economical driving, which are crucial in public transport. Smooth starting and braking ensure passenger comfort and safety, whereas coasting, that is, allowing the vehicle to roll under its own momentum, allows for significant savings in electrical energy.
