How does a trolley differ from a tram?
Trolleys come in various sizes and are able to accommodate up to 40 passengers. They are termed “street legal” and basically transport commuters just like a bus. You will find that some models are totally open or semi-open while others are completely enclosed. Trolleys can operate on roads and freeways, just like cars or buses. Trams, on the other hand, are most often used for transporting passengers within a designated area such as a theme park or parking lot. They are not licensed to operate alongside public traffic. Trams are slow moving and come in multiple car configurations that track behind each other. The most common tram design is “open air” and lends itself well to the amusement industry and to guided tours for quick loading and unloading.
