''We look like we work in an ice-cream stand,'' one driver said Tuesday. ''They are trying to make us look like something we are not: customer service officers and not tram drivers. We look like clowns.'' Yarra Trams Chief Executive Michel Masson says he is pleased with the new uniforms, which took over 100 employee suggestions into account. ''During the design process, we took the time to consult with a representative group of employees from every part of the business,'' he said. ''We are delighted with the modern, stylish look.''
