There are reduced services on Sundays and public holidays.
NOTE: particular care and attention should be taken on the #28 tram and the older #15 tram. Pickpockets are known to operate on both routes, particularly the #28 which is often crowded and is a jerky ride, so standing passengers are concentrating more on their balance than their belongings.
