How do you perform service braking in a tram?

Explanation

Correct answer: By seamlessly pressing the brake pedal no further than the limiter, to stop at a particular place with a single pressing of the pedal.

Service braking is the primary, planned method of stopping a tram, for example, at a stop. Correctly executing this manoeuvre requires smoothness and anticipation to ensure passenger comfort and safety. Therefore, the brake should be applied gradually and continuously, avoiding sudden jerks, to stop precisely at the intended location.
