Brussels Expo

During Expo 1958, there was heavy competition between the two transport companies operating trams in Brussels (MIVB/STIB and NMVB/SNCV). Both companies had also placed people at the exits who had to show the way to 'their' company and not that of the competition!

The photo was taken during Expo 58. This tram was not yet finished.
In this state, the tram would never come in service: the Brussels tram network maintained the use of the trolleys until its closure in July 1978. In Brussels, the N.M.V.B. never used pantographs.
