4 differences between trains and trams

are modern day trams the same as light rail?

the hyperloop is not worth it. why should the train be in tunnels if there isn't an obstacle, such as a city or a mountain?

in my opinion, the trams should be compatible with trains, and they should have two cabs, have the same track width and basically be street version of trains

My life is tram 🥰

There are tyes of rails used only by trams not by trains (hole in middel of rail)

Both of them

Anything but buses is good

Trains are for men! Trams are a toy!

i prefer steam trains way more cheaper then normal trains

Rail infrastructure planning is vital to the success of future railtravel but it all depends above of all from political interest to invest on it in order to create a system as good as aviation flying nation by nation with no technology barriers, many of them historical barriers such as track and loading gauge and direction of travel. But there are many others such as electrification and signalling systems. While this issues prevailing, railways will only be successful inside borders ecluding rare exceptions where nations share their systems specially in Europe, the biggest railway user but facing huge difficulties to make it something competitive with aviation sector on medium distances. Thank you fro sharing the video.

Future = walking and cycling (within cities). Go Netherlands!

From a technical point of view, trains and trams are the same thing, the major difference being that trams are designed to move people inside cities and trains to move people between cities. When it comes to future transport over long distances, I bet it will be mainly high speed rail and maybe some maglev to shorten longer routes, high speed rail being the backbone and maglev a cherry on top. For city transport it would be busses and trams, buses preferably electric. We should also encourage walkability and use of bikes and similar.

Where I live in Melbourne Australia I have both very close by. I usually travel by the train as it is more frequent and quicker. I live near a junction station so trains are very grequent. The tram is good for short local hauls.

first two differences I noticed are wheel size and weight

From horse drawn omnibuses to meglev mass driver hyper transit systems that run in vacuum tubes. Will beanstalk hyper trains be in our future to take us commuters to space?

I'm from Kolkata, India and its the only Asian City to have functional tram network.
I ❤️ Trams.

in short, trams are trains on the road and are buses that are on rails

I'ma say trams are better, they seem to be the better version of trains, being more environment friendly, take less time to start and stop, and seem to be easier to maintain in a depot with buses(and trams)

Rails is very good

This vid id probably for people that dont know anything about trains and trams!

I prefer Air taxi

I believe landing gears are very important because it sustain all the gravitational forces and all the weight ,
its very difficult to land the aircraft if any one of them fails.

Jakarta: MRT, LRT and Electric Train

Both forms are transport are very efficient at moving a lot of people without forming congestion and dont pollute cities airspace but one thing I think we can all agree on is that NORTH AMERICAN CITIES NEED FORMS OF TRANSIT THAT ARENT CARS

In my country, they have doors on both sides.

All trams are trains but not all trains are trams.

Nowadays, for environmental reasons, trains are gradually running on electricity rather than diesel fuel, and certain areas of railway lines have overhead lines for them, so that part isn't a difference between train and tram anymore

The correct answer to the question one is the superior option is: both, please.

Trains do stop, even freight trains. It's very dumb to say that trains don't stop between station.

Artificial voice software is too annoying. It's obvious that there is no gap for breathing.

It really depend on city planner to make tram function effective.. Mostly straight line from point a to b and has it own line and stop

Great video ! (see our trams video in Taiwan too)

I ❤️ trams

New high speed rail is the future of long distance travel in countries, but hyper loop is more expensive and less economical

Two of the first horse tramways in Britain were constructed in 1860 by George Francis TRAIN, hence Mr. Train's Tram.

Hyperloops? Heck not. They suck

Can we get a deep dive into tram trains, how they are different from trams and trains, what they're for, where they work, etc? Where I live we're surrounded by disused but technically in service rail lines and we have trams, a tram train seems a no brainer but it never comes up

I love Trams / Streetcars 🇨🇦

I'm a tram and I approve this video! :O

What's the difference?

Me: One word: SPELLING

Im 100% a train Person

ترام

I think I prefer trams over subway because I like travel above ground and be able to see where the tram is going . I do though love trains in long distance traveling.

Trains for traveling from one city to another.
Trams for going around the city.

Were I live the tram can function as a city train or a regular train depending on where In the county and on which line.

When you hear the word hyperloop 👁👄👁

One hits harder then the other

Typical zero research, zero thought American journalism? documentary? blather?

....what do you think?
