A tram, or tramcar, 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 differ from other forms of rail-based transport in that their tracks are partly or wholly laid in streets, which they share to a greater or lesser extent with other road traffic. Tram enables virtually complete integration with other forms of transport and pedestrians making simultaneous use of the streets.
