Tram

A tram (also known as a tramcar, or a streetcar or trolley in Canada and the United States) is an urban rail transit type in which vehicles, whether individual railcars or multiple-unit trains, run on tramway tracks laid on public streets, although some trams run on sections of track in their own segregated right-of-way.
