minus-squaremondoman712linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoJust to note, it isn’t for transporting cargo in the way that you might think, it’s for waste collection. It will go out to a different spot for a day or half a day and sit there, and you can take any waste that’s too big for the usual collection.
minus-square5714@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·3 months agoDoes it still exist? Waste collection is still (partially) cargo transport AFAIK.
minus-squaremondoman712linkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoI mean yeah it is cargo transport, just not in the way one would think of if you just say cargo transport. I believe it does still exist, but I heard it’s being phased out in favour of a truck, because it’s hard to maintain the old trams.
