it kills me that cargo trams aren't completely normal, especially when you have entire neighbourhoods built around the tramway with their own downtowns filled with stores, it makes so much sense to just run cargo trams there in the off-hours and offload things to the stores!
Damn, didn't know they cancelled those restaurant trams, those were still on my to do list. I always saw them loading up at Whiteman Street and it seemed like a cool thing to do once.

They should add rolling pubs as well. Imagine if you didn't have to bring your own longneck!

They had a restaurant tram (actually three) that were only cancelled in 2018!
Berlin also had a tram bar but I can't find any information about whether it's still running: https://urban-transit.tumblr.com/post/87126397871/berliner-fahrbar-the-party-tram-available-for (sorry for the Tumblr link)

Something like a food truck on rails could be cool as well. Like it rolls by and you grab a shawarma

Obviously doesn't work everywhere but a lot of cities with rivers or canals have boat pubs that go up and down and around the place
They're pretty fun
