A Game of finding 10 differences


The top photo shows a real tram at San Francisco. The bottom one shows a toy tram bought from San Francisco.

Please find ten differences between the two trams.

請找出以上兩幅照片中的電車那十處不同.

1. routes ------------- Powell & Mason Streets ------ Powell & Hyde Streets

2. names of co.-- San Francisco Municipal Railway --- San Francisco Cable car

3. car number -----------------16------------------- No number

4. vertical bars at front ------- 5-------------------- 4

2. Discrepancy in Company Names: SF Municipal Railways vs San Fran Cable Car
3. Logo difference
4. Color difference
5. 2 top side windows (Top) vs 1 top side window (bottom)
6. Double hand rail for standing and seated passengers (top) vs only single hand rail + a pillar (bottom)
7. Space between car and standing platform (top) and no space in bottom pic.
8. Gate at front entrance in Bottom, no gated entrance in Top.
9. Hand rails at front entrance different
10. difference in size of "bumper"

Good on you Felix, from you answer you have already included all the differences which we could find. We have decided to put this test into the too hard basket.
