Boarding for take off, maybe they are off for a city break, or maybe not, one passenger has a life belt and another a spade. The crew seem to be doing some running repairs and just the small matter of a wheel needing to be attached.
It is probably quicker by underground than bus in London although the open top buses are a popular option for sightseers. In the early 1900s buses with no roofs were the norm rather than a tourist attraction.
If visiting Lisbon it is said a tram ride is a must and the nostalgic traveller wanting to see 'old Lisbon' from their windows should board one of the historic 'Remodelado' that travel through the cities narrow streets and up steep inclines. The modern trams carry more people but are confined to the flat sections of the city.

That first is interesting. Maybe the shovel holder is off an an archeological adventure. When my parents and I were in London we loved the underground, even though we had a car. It was easy to get around.
I confess I received once the first very postcard, was I didn't notice so many details!
The yellow tramway reminds me a summer spent in Lisbon some decades ago. I had to take it every night to arrive home!
These 3 cards are all so beautiful! The first one, especially, with its diverse characters...
I would love to travel on a Lisbon tram. Those people heading to the underground look like they are flying to the entrance!
