Of course, you can't just use the rhino system for every type of vehicle, that's for trams only.

They use Rhinos in QLD for the Goldcoast Trams. It must be a customary unit like feet for height and hands for horse height.

Shoutout to whichever roller skate manufacturer found the niche making skates for Rhinos.

[–] Tau@aussie.zone 4 points 10 months ago

They tried other designs first but it was found you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd...
