Information About

Tram Stop




A tram stop is a place designated for a Tram to stop in order to have passengers board or leave it.

Tram stops share most characteristics of Bus Stop s, but because trams operate on rails, they often include Railway Platform s, especially if stepless entries are provided for Accessibility . Trams are perfectly capable, however, of stopping at mere bus stop-type flags and using pavements as platforms, as seen, for example, in Budapest . On the other hand, in Manchester high-floor trams stop at dedicated platforms at the height of a railway platform, because the tram system took over former railway lines in the suburbs. Such trams also stop a dedicated platform strops on Stadtbahn s in Germany, especially on undergorund station in the city centre.
