#public transport
Councillors have approved a 24-hour service on three of the city's busiest bus routes, aimed at hospital staff, hospitality workers and late-night travellers.
Empty trams are now running through the small hours on the 4.2 km Line 2 extension to Northfield, as engineers check brakes, signals and platform edges before passengers board next spring.
All 46 trams now have onboard internet and charging points at every seat bay, and the operator says the same network will feed live crowding information to passengers.
Making public transport attractive starts not only with new lines, but with making those few minutes of waiting feel humane.
