Tram or Straßenbahn (streettrain) is correct.
I am from Berlin, if you remove public transit here, the city will collapse tomorrow. The old european cities weren't planned at the drawing board like the us. There are already way to much cars, it would be impossible to handle if everybody had one.
- waqf 11y agoTo be fair, though, by the time of German reunification, most of the West Berlin trams had been removed just as in other Western European countries. (West Berlin still had public transport, notably the U-Bahn, but not trams specifically.) Unified Berlin then inherited a tram network from East Berlin which played well into the post-'90s renaissance of enthusiasm for trams and light rail.
