The Only Place in the World this Tech Makes Sense!! Rubber-Tire Trams in Medellin, Colombia 2026

What kind of tram is this?! This does not run on rail, rather on pavement like a bus! Comment your thoughts below on the benefits and drawbacks of this interesting technology. Medellin is the 2nd largest city in Colombia with a population of 2.5 million. The Ayacucho Tram (or Medellín Tram; Spanish: Tranvía de Medellín) is a Translohr tram system that serves the Metropolitan Area of the Aburrá Valley in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia. It started trial operations on 20 October 2015. The tramline consists of 9 stations with three of those allowing interchanges with the Medellín Metro and the Metrocable systems. The Ayacucho Tram is operated by Medellín Metro and is the only (rubber-tyred or otherwise) tram in Colombia. The modern tram routes completely run on unreserved tracks and in the middle of the road. Due to rubber-tyres, it is not possible to lay tracks on grass, as they can only be built on concrete road. The tram runs through many numerical avenues[clarification needed] via Buenos Aires, Miraflores, Alejandro Echevarria and connects the city center to the eastern part of the city. All stops have side platforms except for both termini, which have island platforms. ~Wikipedia - Want to use my footage in your videos?
