Trackless trains are motor vehicles that pull linked cars behind them and are commonly used in tourist destinations and airports. They go by different names depending on their purpose and location. They come in various shapes and styles and are not used for high-speed transport.
A trackless train is a motor vehicle, often powered by an electric motor, that pulls several linked cars behind it, essentially a train on wheels. Many of these vehicles are used in tourist destinations, such as theme parks, to take people on scenic and informative tours. At airports, trackless trains are used to transport people and luggage. Some public transportation buses are also linked together, like trackless trains, to carry more people per trip. Trackless trains go by different names, such as the tschu-tschu train, the tourist tram, the land train, the dotto train, and the parking lot tram.
To many people, the term trackless train may sound unfamiliar, a rarity considering that most people have been transported by trackless trains at one time or another. Still, the term is rarely used. In fact, no term is used more often to describe trackless trains. Instead, there are more than half a dozen terms that can be used, depending on the location and the purpose for which a trackless train is used. In North America, trackless trains are more likely to be called streetcars, while the train etiquette is more common in Europe.
For a more specific example, a destination point with a giant parking lot might use a trackless train to transport customers from their parked cars to a building. When used for that role, trackless trains are often called parking trams. Other names are used in different situations. For example, when used to transport tourists through a historic part of the city, trackless trains are probably called tourist cars. Also, when used at an airport for baggage transportation, a trackless train might be called an airport baggage train. The names are different, but the vehicles are essentially the same.
Trackless trains, like different model cars, come in many different shapes and styles. Tour cars often have cars with open sides, and sometimes open tops, to give passengers the best view of their surroundings. Many are made to look like real trains, with replica steam whistles and train carriage designs. Others, used simply to transport people from point A to point B, or to carry goods, are generally simpler in design.
Like railway trains, trackless trains are capable of carrying many people. Unlike rail transport, however, they are not used for high-speed transport. When used for public transportation along a downtown district, they can reach the speed of average downtown traffic, but are not used for transportation along faster roads, such as highways.
