Also known as streetcars and trolleys, trams have been transporting people around the world since the late 1800s. They reached their peak in the 1920s when there were over 3,000 in Europe, the Americas, and Australia. But then the personal car was introduced, becoming a serious competitor and causing the decline of this mode of transportation. Luckily for tram-lovers, they made a comeback in the 2000s, with hundreds of new systems being built.
