Rubber-tyred trams

Rubber-tyred trams are like big buses that run on electric power, but they have special rubber tires that help them move smoothly on tracks like a train.

Imagine you have a toy train that needs to move on a straight line made of tracks. If you try to push it, it might not move smoothly and may even derail. But if you have wheels with special rubber that have a lot of grip, then your train will move smoothly and not fly off the tracks.

Rubber-tyred trams have big rubber tires with grooves on them that help them grip the tracks and provide traction. This means that they can go faster and turn better than regular buses or cars.

The rubber tires also make the ride smoother because they absorb bumps and vibrations on the road. Plus, the trams don't make as much noise as regular buses because the rubber tires create less friction with the road.

Since rubber-tyred trams run on electricity, they are better for the environment than gas-powered buses. And because they run on dedicated tracks, they can avoid getting stuck in traffic, making them more efficient and reliable.

So in summary, rubber-tyred trams are like big buses that run on tracks and have special rubber tires that help them move smoothly and provide a comfortable ride. They are also better for the environment and more efficient than regular buses.
