The Russian One is a new commuter tram that looks like something from a sci-fi film.
The futuristic tram features LED cabin lighting, felt-covered sofas, wooden handrails, and sliding glass doors that operate by touchscreen.
Luckily, photographer Ilya Varlamov was able to snap some pictures of the new Russian One prototype, right from the showroom floor.
The Russia One is covered in stunning glass paneling.
This is the tram's designer, Alexei Maslov.
The interior of the tram is incredibly beautiful.
The overhead LED mood lighting keeps the interior quite bright in the morning and dim at night.

Spacious sofas give you plenty of legroom so you can relax.
The seats are covered in gorgeous felt.
The Russian One is electric and can run for 50 miles.
The tram's exterior LED lights can change color.
Cameras integrated into the body of the tram feed into a display in the driver's cabin.
Every piece of the Russian One, other than the accordion connectors and door mechanism, was designed by manufacturer UralVagonZavod.
The attention to design really shows.
The ceiling vents for air conditioning also double as speakers.
According to Varlamov, this tram driver didn't want to leave the modern tram.

The doors slide open and are operated by a touch screen.
