Example of a tram stop sign
Tram stops share most characteristics of bus stops, but due to the fact trams operate on rails, they often include railway platforms, especially if stepless entries are provided. Trams are perfectly capable, however, of stopping at mere bus stop-type flags and using pavements as platforms, as seen in Budapest. On the other hand, in Manchester high-floor trams stop at dedicated platforms at the height of a railway platform, due to the fact that the tram system took over former railway lines in the suburbs.
