A tram is a type of light rail vehicle, which is similar to a train. It travels on two rails, and is normally powered by electricity, however some trams are powered by diesel or steam. Trams are made as an alternative to driving through the city.
Where it TravelsIt travels on either purpose built sections (which were specifically made for the rails), or on a road (in the city).
High Floor and Low FloorThere are two types of tram; high floor and low floor.
High floor trams must have a full height platform. This means that it costs more to build and is not as easily accessible as a low floor tram. But it also means it can be joint up with train platforms.
Low floor trams do not need a platform, and can be got on anywhere; Although there is often a platform raised about 30cm.

When and where were trams first introduced in Australia?
A horse-drawn tramway commenced operation in Adelaide on the 10th of June, 1878. However, in 1885 the Melbourne Tramway and Omnibus Company began operating Melbourne's first cable tram line. The first service ran from Spencer St/Flinders St, to Hawthorn Bridge. As the city grew, the technical limits of the cable tram system became apparent, and electric trams were developed and implemented. The first electric tram began operations in Melbourne in 1889, and ran from Box Hill Station to Doncaster. For a variety of reasons, it soon fell into disrepair. The first "serious" electric tram in Melbourne began operating on 5 May 1906, and ran between St Kilda and Brighton.
