revamp <!-- headline-->

<!-- content -->Hong Kong Tramways has announced
plans to spend HK$75-million to refurbish its tram fleet. Seating
will be re-aligned on the lower deck to provide better passenger
flow, and wooden seating restored to replace the existing plastic
seats.
To minimise disruption, the company plans to modify two trams a
month, meaning it will take several years to update the entire
fleet. Project manager Arsene Durand-Raucher said the aim was to
improve comfort and convenience for passengers. The first modified
trams will be in service early next year. <!-- content end
