Tram rosettes. You see them on buildings across the city where there used to be tram lines. They're little ~6 inch or so metal crosses, usually around 1st floor level on old buildings. They used to hold the power lines above the street for the trams. Some have disappeared but many are still there on buildings that predate WWII.

Some buses also travel on slightly peculiar routes in some neighborhoods, maybe travelling down side streets for some distance rather than just using nearby major roads.

The number 4 is a good example, which leaves the modern "main road" at Battlefield Rest and weaves through Battlefield via Sinclair Drive. This is because it follows the route of the tram line that used to be there.
