Tramway

A tramway is a transportation system that uses trains running on tracks to carry passengers within urban or suburban areas. Unlike traditional trains that often operate on dedicated railway lines, tramways typically run on tracks embedded in city streets or dedicated tracks, making them convenient for short-distance travel and connecting neighborhoods, business districts, and transit hubs. They are usually electric-powered, quiet, and environmentally friendly, providing an efficient way to reduce traffic congestion and promote sustainable urban mobility. Tramways can vary in size from small streetcars to larger modern light rail vehicles, suited to the infrastructure and transportation needs of a city.
