		Trams differ from other forms of rail-based transport in that their tracks are partly or wholly laid in streets, which they share to a greater or lesser extent with other road traffic.
		The first trams, known as streetcars or horsecars in North America, were built in the United States and developed from city stagecoach lines and omnibus lines that picked up and dropped off passengers on a regular route and without the need to be pre-hired.
		Modern trams generally use overhead electric cables, from which they draw current through a pantograph, a bow collector (less commonly) or the now-rare trolley pole (the former is most common and used on most new tram designs).
