[Artist's comments]Quoted from a document
The first restored streetcar
A lot of the passengers had nothing to say. Some were amazed: “The streetcars are already running?” Others said, “I'm afraid to cross the rail bridges by myself.” People with burns, people with purple spots. Many couldn't pay the fare. “Thank you very much,” they said,“I'm sorry.”
