- This article refers to the mass transit vehicle 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, streetcar, or street railway 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. Trams are distinguishable from other forms of rail-borne vehicles in that they travel wholly or partly along tracks laid down in streets, usually on track reserved for the tram system. Also, most tram systems lack platforms; riders simply step off the car. This feature of trams enables virtually complete integration with other forms of transport and pedestrians making simultaneous use of the streets.
Tram systems were common throughout the industrialized world in the early 20th century. Although they disappeared from many cities for many years in mid-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 them, especially if the line has significant off-street running. An example is Portland, Oregon, where MAX light rail operates together with the Portland Streetcar.
