Unfortunately the trams were prone to derailing on tight radius curves thus they had to be restricted to a small number of routes. The transverse seating was later removed from the lower saloon in favour of longitudinal seating and more for more standing passengers. The trams remained in service until the early 1960s, two have been preserved.
