After recently using the Sheffield Supertram for the first time I found it interesting that they run the trams more like Routemaster buses than other tram systems.

By that I mean you buy a ticket from the conductor on board. (There are no ticket machines at tram stops) I didn't travel at a rush hour time so I'm unaware if there are extra conductors on busy trams. Also the tram would not stop between it's first and final stop if there was no-one waiting to board the tram and no-one pressed one of the 'stop' buttons on the trams. That seems a bit pointless during daylight hours as the trams are stopping at every stop to pick up and drop off a number of people.
