Tram

urban transport · rail system · city life

Runs on streets. Trams are like trains that drive down the middle of your city streets instead of hiding underground or staying in separate train yards. They pick up and drop off passengers at stops along busy roads and neighborhoods.

Electric powered. Most trams are powered by electricity that comes through overhead wires or cables. This makes them cleaner and quieter than buses that use gasoline or diesel fuel.

Popular worldwide. Trams are super common in Europe, especially in cities like Amsterdam, Prague, and San Francisco. They've been around since the 1800s and are still one of the best ways to move lots of people through cities.

Metal track system. Trams run on metal rails embedded in the street, which keeps them on a fixed path and makes them very reliable. The tracks are built strong enough to handle the weight while still letting regular cars cross them.

Easy to board. Trams have low platforms that make it simple for everyone, including people with wheelchairs or strollers, to get on and off safely.
