The distance you can travel in a tramway varies widely depending on the city and the specific tram network. Some key points are:
- The longest tram line in the world is the Belgian Coast Tram, which runs approximately 67 kilometers along the Belgian North Sea coast with 67 stops. A full trip takes about two and a half hours end to end.
- Vienna's tram network covers around 171 kilometers of track, making it one of the largest in the world, although individual trips are shorter as the network is made up of many lines.
- The world's longest individual tram vehicle (not line) is in Germany and measures 58.61 meters long, capable of speeds up to 80 km/h and used on inter-city routes.
- Tram networks can vary from urban street tramways to longer interurban or metropolitan tram-train lines, so travel distance depends on the system's scope.
In summary, for continuous travel on a single tram line, up to around 67 kilometers is possible (Belgian Coast Tram). For network-wide travel, systems can have over 170 kilometers of track such as in Vienna.
Thus, tramway travel can cover a range from short urban trips to longer regional journeys depending on the city's tram system.
