Default Modern double deck trams

I've sometimes wondered why modern tramcar makers don't make double deckers.


The dwell time is too high for competitive timing. In those days, when
people couldn't afford automobiles, this was less of a concern, and it
still might not be in the 3rd or developing world, but for success of a
tram system in the modern world, every second (per stop) counts.
