The Yenakiieve tram system, located in Yenakiieve, Ukraine, opened on May 24, 1932. As of 2010 it has three routes, 32.7 km and 37 rail cars.
A tram is a rail vehicle which runs on tramway tracks along public urban streets; some include segments of segregated right-of-way. The lines or networks operated by tramcars are called tramways. Historically the term electric street railways was also used in the United States. In the United States, the term tram has sometimes been used for rubber-tyred trackless trains, which are not related to the other vehicles covered in this article.
