SANTA TERESA TRAM


Everybody likes the "bondinho" (tram) of Santa Teresa and now that it appeared on the animation film Rio it's even more popular. When I was a child the "bondes" (trams) where a common form of transport in Rio, but now the only one remaining is Santa Teresa's. Unfortunately, after a serious accident last July, the tram system is beeing refurbished and will return to operation only on the second semester of 2012.
