WHAT DOES TRAMCAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

tramcar

Tram

A tram is a rail vehicle which runs on tracks along public urban streets, and also sometimes on separate rights of way. The lines or networks operated by tramcars are called tramways. Tramways powered by electricity, which were the most common type historically, were once called electric street railways. Trams also include horsecars, which were widely used in urban areas before electrification. Tram lines may also run between cities and/or towns, and/or partially grade-separated even in the cities. Trams very occasionally also carry freight. Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than conventional trains and rapid transit trains. However, the differences between these modes of public transportation are often indistinct. Some trams may also run on ordinary railway tracks, a tramway may be upgraded to a light rail or a rapid transit line, two urban tramways may be connected to an interurban, etc. Most trams today use electrical power, usually fed by an overhead pantograph; in some cases by a sliding shoe on a third rail or trolley pole.
