•A tram (also tramcar) is a rail vehicle which runs on tracks along public urban streets, and also sometimes on a segregated right of way. The lines or networks operated by tramcars are called tramways.

•Trams in India were established in the late-19th century. Horse-drawn trams were introduced in Kolkata in 1873; electric trams began in Chennai in 1895, and trams were then introduced in Mumbai, Nashik, Kanpur, Chalakudy, Patna and Bhavnagar. They were discontinued in most Indian cities between 1930 and 1970, except for Kolkata.
