The funniest argument and the reason I share this is that since the utilities company that provides the tram service has a ratified goal of becoming CO2-Neutral eventually, they've elected to not buy ACs since they'd consume about 7 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and ACs aren't sustainable. I assume the 50°C tram is gonna be a big hit as per transportation in the upcoming summers.

Before I saw your comment I was pleased with my idea of making a SaunaTram joke.

Maybe not tagline material but only because it needs the context of a post. Though I guess one could greentext it.
