So, you know how sometimes when you go to a big city, you see big busses driving around that lots of people can get on and off? Well, in Gothenburg, Sweden, they have something similar, but it's smaller and it runs on tracks.
Imagine a giant train made up of long cars that can bend in the middle. These cars are connected and they run on tracks down the street. People can hop on and off at different stops along the way just like a regular bus. This is called a tram.
The Gothenburg tram has been around for over 100 years! It was first built way back in 1902. Over time, they have made changes and updates to make sure it's safe and runs smoothly.
Gothenburg has over 160km of tracks and 198 stops that the trams run on. The trams are powered by electricity, so they don't produce any pollution or smoke. This is good for the environment!
Many people in Gothenburg use the tram to get around. It's a convenient and affordable way to travel. So next time you're in Gothenburg, keep an eye out for the trams running down the street!
