Huh, I’ve never been in public transportation where opening a window was an option. All the trains and public buses I’ve been on (in the U.S.) have windows that are permanently shut.
It depends. On all our old and new tram models the upper part of the window can be cracked open. Not fully, just enough for the breeze and fresh air to get in. Buses have fixed windows that can’t be opened. Trains — at least in my home country — vary: old ones you can usually slide the entire window open in the hallway(?), but the cabins, IIRC, have the same mechanism like the trams; new ones have fixed windows, IIRC, but they are also air-conditioned, so it’s not a problem.

Here’s an example of an older tram. In some the window can be cracked open just a little bit, though.
Interesting. I’ve never ridden in a tram, they don’t exist in the parts of the country I’ve lived in.
