tramcars

Track-bound urban transport

Tramcars are passenger vehicles that run on rails through city streets, powered by overhead electric lines or cables.

The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say streetcars or trolleys.

The old tramcars have been restored as a tourist attraction.
