 The classic Peter Witt design trams of Milan have a worldwide following and one has found its way to Melbourne in Australia to join the collection in the city's tram museum. Breda 1692 is seen there in November 2014.

 In 1984, one Milan tram (OM 1834) came to San Francisco for the summer Trolley Festivals that resulted in the construction of the F line route from Castro along the waterfront to Fisherman's Wharf. The route became so popular that MUNI's fleet of old PCC cars could not cope with the demand so ten more cars, like this - Officine Elettroferroviarie Tallero 1888, seen at Fishermans Wharf in August 2002 - were obtained. Their American inspired design helped to make them blend in quite well. Peter Witts saw service in fifteen US cities including New York, Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Los Angeles. The design was also exported to other cities like Toronto, Mexico City, Madrid, as well as three Italian cities: Naples, Turin, and - of course - Milan. |
 Demonstrating San Francisco's reputation as a transport enthusiast's dream this picture has vintage trams, trolleys and a bus. Milan Officine Elettroferroviarie Tallero 1895 is seen in August 2008 on Market Street on route F to Castro. |
 Milan OM 1834 is the car that preceded the ten extras to San Francisco. It is seen here in 1984, the year it arrived in California with PCC car 1704. |
