The tram network in Sydney was so extensive that it was quite practical to transport prisoners in a tram in that era.
This tram became infamous due to a successful prison escape: a prisoner cut a hole in the wooden roof to escape.

Трамвайная сеть в Сиднее была настолько разветвленной, что было вполне практично перевозить заключенных в трамвае. Данный трамвай прославился удачным побегом из тюрьмы: заключенный проделал дыру в деревянной крыше.
The exact time was not mentioned, but the prisoner did not have to do too much work: the tram has a relatively thin wooden roof. The knife was 25.4 cm long, and the prisoner had sharpened it beforehand, such that it was more like a saw than a knife. Apparently, the other prisoners talked loud enough that nobody heard the roof being sawed.
