Stayed just for a dozen hours or so this time so didn't really need to hop in considering the centre is pretty walkable.

The green one seems to have driver’s controls at the rear end, which seems unusual. IIRC, Basel trams (and possibly trams in most of Switzerland) are single-headed, often towing a lighter drogue carriage, as the lines end in turning loops.

You're right in that they're made to run in one direction only. The controls in the back are for shunting.
