This is the original video from tramTRACKER official launch in October 2006.
My dad made the video when he managed tramTRACKER development working as IT Manager for Yarra Trams.
When tramTRACKER was launched, it supported phone (voice), SMS and a website. The iPhone app was added almost two years later (*) after the first iPhone was released in June 2007.
The video is an original, unchanged work with the exception of the initial photo that was added to present the people, and the ending, funny tramTRACKER commercial.

(*) tramTRACKER iPhone story
When the website, protected from a denial-of-service attack, reported excessive access, my dad followed up on the accessing IP, traced down the “hacker” and invited him to Yarra Trams where he found out that the “hacker” was an enthusiastic iPhone app developer and offered him a job. His name is Robert Amos and he developed tramTRACKER for iPhone.
Jake
tramTRACKER advertisement and artwork development, including tramTRACKER logo was managed by Paul Matthews – Marketing Manager for Yarra Trams.
tramTRACKER logo is based on Jake, Dennis Cliche’s adorable beagle. The image was so successful that Jake became Yarra Trams mascot enchanting kids at Yara Trams functions.
