You're waiting for the bus... But you're in Milan, so the bus is actually a stately vintage tramcar.

Full indoor shot of a streetcar in a maintenance facility.

A large streetcar, dark gray or black in tone, is centrally positioned, resting on supports. Its body is a rectangular shape with numerous windows, made of metal. The windows are framed by metal, and some have wire mesh visible. The front of the streetcar is curved. 

A second and third streetcar are partially visible to the left and right sides, angled slightly away from the primary subject.

The floor of the facility is a light gray concrete. Various pieces of equipment or tools are subtly visible, scattered around the area, but not the focus of the image. 

The background shows interior walls, and structural elements indicative of a large building's architecture. 

A strong neutral grayscale tone dominates the image.
