About Wonder Tram
What is a Tram?
Electric trams are quiet, under 60dBA which is about half the noise of buses. People like trams for the smooth, jerk-free riding! In many cities around the world up to 45% of passengers have swapped cars to light rail. Our trams are easy to board, with level access for passengers in wheelchairs and moms with strollers.
Wonder Trams are space age vehicles compared to street cars or trolleys of old. Today Tram systems are being opened about every two weeks world-wide, because people like them and use them, making services economic. Added to this Wonder Trams are efficient in energy terms and make better use of limited road space, even in narrow streets. With electric power there is a lower carbon footprint compared to other modes of transportation. Trams are also the safest urban transport system and you know where you are in a tram.
Also known as street cars or trolleys, today’s modern electric trams are making a roaring comeback around the world because they are more efficient in terms or road utilization compared to cars, have larger passenger capacity compared to buses, they are energy efficient, lower carbon footprint, ability to navigate tight streets, compatible with pedestrianized areas, are durable, easy to maintain and are more cost-effective compared to other forms of transportation.
History of Trams
The first known trams were actually a British invention in the early 1800’s. As it happens, the Wonder Tram team members are all British – Trams are in their DNA!
