Get any photos of the trams? Saint Petersburg has one of the world's largest streetcar networks.

Thanks for the comment! I did not see any trams while I was there. I honestly did not know they had any. The traffic in Saint Petersburg is horrendous, so people rely heavily on the metro (unfortunately we didn't get to ride it). Unless they have dedicated lanes for streetcars, I imagine they wouldn't be very useful.
