Tram
This article refers to public transport vehicles running on rails. For other meanings of tram, see Tram (disambiguation). For other uses of trolley see Trolley (disambiguation). For other uses of streetcar, see Streetcar (disambiguation). See also Light rail and Trolleybus.
A tram, tramcar, trolley, trolley car, or streetcar is a railborne vehicle, lighter than a train, designed for the transport of passengers (and/or, very occasionally, freight) within, close to, or between villages, towns and/or cities, primarily on streets.
Tram systems (or "tramways" or "street railways") were common throughout the industrialized world in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but they disappeared from many cities in the mid-20th century. In recent years, they have made a comeback. Many newer light rail systems share features with trams, although a distinction is usually drawn between the two, especially if the line has significant off-street running.
