What is the speed of a tram?
2 Answers
The speed of a tram is 140 kilometers per hour. Below is an introduction to trams: Tram: A tram is a light rail transit vehicle powered by electricity and running on tracks. Trams are a form of public transportation, also known as streetcars or simply trams, and belong to the category of light rail. However, they typically operate entirely on streets, with trains consisting of only a single car, rarely exceeding three cars. Advantages: No need to dig tunnels underground; Compared to other road vehicles, trams are more effective in reducing the rate of traffic accidents; Since trams are powered by electricity, they do not emit exhaust gases, making them a pollution-free and environmentally friendly mode of transportation.
From the perspective of daily commuting experience: I take the tram to and from work every day. In the city center, the speed isn't fast, averaging around 20 to 30 kilometers per hour. Due to frequent stops for passengers and traffic lights, it's even slower during peak hours, about 20 kilometers per hour. In the suburbs or on dedicated tracks, it can go faster, reaching 40 to 50 kilometers per hour. The speed is actually quite stable, more so than buses. Once I got used to it, I found the timing very predictable, and I can relax and enjoy the scenery outside the window. The tram is environmentally friendly, with quiet and efficient electric drive, but its speed is greatly affected by road conditions, especially slower on winding sections. Overall, it's suitable for urban commuting, combining different speeds to ensure punctual arrival every day without being late.
