Streetcars

Streetcars, also known as trams or trolleys, are urban transit vehicles that run on tracks laid on city streets. They are typically powered by electricity from overhead wires and are designed to transport passengers over shorter distances within city limits. Streetcars often have designated stops and share the road with other vehicles, making them an efficient option for urban public transportation. They help reduce traffic congestion and promote environmentally friendly travel by providing an alternative to driving. Many cities have revitalized their streetcar systems, recognizing their role in enhancing urban mobility and connectivity.
