I see buttons and handles on the wall where there would be a door, but it doesn't look like a door at all - more like a small panel between windows.
Edit - And there are no rails on the ceiling. What is one supposed to hold onto when the tram is packed with commuters?

I will let you in on it. The guy sitting takes up two seats. So again its a tram made for anorexic people.

Two seats on either side making four in a row rather than three in total in a row on the older trams?

Not sure about that. The purchase of new vehicles is a continuous process and the budget is reserved yearly using normal revenue. Fare increases happen when the entire system becomes not sustainable anymore due to big-picture causes, very rarely due to a single event (tram purchase, line extension etc).
