Spårakoff is a HM V type tram converted into a bar in Helsinki, Finland. It is one of the four HM V trams that remain operational. Two are museum trams, and one is used as a non-passenger carrying advertisement tram. Known as the pub tram, the vehicle does circular tours of Helsinki picking up passengers for a fee during summer months. It is operated jointly by Sinebrychoff, HOK-Elanto (part of the S Group) and Helsinki City Transport. The pub tram is immediately distinguishable in the Helsinki traffic by its vivid red colour (as opposed to the normal colours, green and cream, used on the Helsinki tram network of the Helsinki City Transport), and by the destination board that reads ''PUB''. ==History== The Spårakoff was remodelled from an old HM V tram in 1995, to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Sinebrychoff. HM V number 15 was selected as the tram to be converted, and it was renumbered no. 175 in honour of the anniversary. The Spårakoff started its operation on Mayday’s eve, 1995. The Spårakoff has an area of 20 m². It has seats for 24 customers, a counter and a lavatory. The lavatory is so small it had to be ordered from a company that builds cabins for cruise ships. The remodelling was done Helsinki City Transport. Originally the Spårakoff was only supposed to be in operation for two years, but it turned out to be so popular that it continues its operations today. When it started, it was the only one of its kind in the world, and this may still be the case today. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Spårakoff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
