Description
I'm called and visited so often today, I might as well do no work at all and post a picture.This was taken yesterday, on Den Haag Centraal Station. It's not really about transport, but about people, but I won't rely on the perception and tolerance of the gallery admins of 'City Life' or 'Street'. The alternative title that I considered was "Modern Times".
But, for the transport fans: the tram you see is the local (and regional) light rail. It operates on (former) parts of the train network but also in the streets as a normal tram. Additionally, it runs underground for a few blocks and through a building (the Ministry of Culture).
Den Haag Centraal Station is a terminus station and the tram and bus platforms are on top of the train platforms; after a recent change, the trams are visible form the Station hall and sharing the station hall's extended ceiling/roof, which I rather like. Other tram platforms are next to the building on ground level, parallel to the train tracks.

Looks like some dystopic future with the many round curves in this photo.

That's interesting. I like to see how things are handled in other countries.

This pictures contains everything that i love about railway stations (and large transport hubs in general ).
The moving people, the steel and concrete...
Wonderful

Modern Times would have been even more appropriate title I think though clockwork is nice, and reminds me a bit of the Clockwork Orange ( where Orange can be a good metaphor for Holland )
