TonT Computer manipulation producing an image of the "tram-on-tires" (TVR) planned for Nancy, France. This vehicle is really a trolleybus with a guided section using a new technology. Perhaps, more people will ride it if they can be duped into thinking it is a "tram."

N-6 TVR 6 on route T1 on the guided track. Photo by Cristoph Groneck. Date Unknown. Copyrighted.

N-02 Unidentified TVR that does not appear to be on the track, but is. is an optical illusion, created by (1) the use of a telephoto lens combined with (2) a change of slope of the roadway at that point (so, the road surface drops down and we can't see it) and (3) the fact the lanes & guideway make a lateral "zig-zag" at this point (immediately in front of the vehicle facing us). The second trolley is also unidentified. Both are on the guide rail. Photo by Cristoph Groneck. Date Unknown. Copyrighted.

N-03 Unidentified TVR southbound on Avenue Jean Jaurès, a somewhat narrow street, but not narrow enough to require the guide track. It is at the Saint-André (Jardin Botanique) stop. Photo by Cristoph Groneck. Date Unknown. Copyrighted.
