Tram is definitely not the correct word for them, they’re light rail. They have way larger capacity than a tram has, but have some section where they have to cross roads and stop for that reason. They do have their own path as well, so it would be crazy for a car to block its path while parked.


















LA has the largest light rail system in the world is my understanding. That being said they cover such a huge area that they’re not practical like New York here they have a dense amount of stations.
Part of the reason they have that title too though is because other parts of the world prefer heavy rail over light rail.
