What is "sparakoff"

Spårakoff is a HM V type tram converted into a bar in Helsinki, Finland. It is one of the four HM V trams that remain operational. Two are museum trams, and one is used as a non-passenger carrying advertisement tram.

Known as the pub tram, the vehicle does circular tours of Helsinki picking up passengers for a fee during summer months. It is operated jointly by Sinebrychoff, HOK-Elanto (part of the S Group) and Helsinki City Transport.

The pub tram is immediately distinguishable in the Helsinki traffic by its vivid red colour (as opposed to the normal colours, green and cream, used on the Helsinki tram network of the Helsinki City Transport), and by the destination board that reads PUB.
