The following is a list of cities that have current tram/streetcar (including heritage trams/heritage streetcars), or light rail systems as part of their regular public transit systems. In other words, this list only includes systems which operate year-round and provide actual transit service, not ones that are primarily tourist services, are seasonal-only, or are excursion-type tram operations.
Only currently operational tram and LRT systems are included in this listing – tram and LRT systems that have "suspended operation" or are presently under construction are excluded.
Location
Primary city served by the tram/streetcar or light rail system.
Country
Sovereign state in which the tram/streetcar or light rail system is located.
Relevant Wikipedia article
The corresponding general article on the topic, such as "Trams in [city]", or the most common English name of the system for systems with articles titled by name rather than by topic description.
Year opened
The year the system opened for passenger service. For older systems, this may refer to horsecar service for those systems
continuously in operation since their horsecar era.
Stations
The number of stations in the network, as quoted by the system's operator.
System length
The system length of a tram/streetcar or light rail network is the sum of the lengths of all routes in the rail network in kilometers (or miles). Each section of track is counted only once, regardless of how many lines pass over it, and regardless of whether it is single-track or multi-track, single carriageway or dual carriageway.
Type
Defines whether the system in question is a tram/streetcar system or a light rail transit system (or, in a few cases, whether the system is a heritage streetcar system).
