A '''tram stop''', '''tram station''', '''streetcar stop''', or '''light rail station''' is a place designated for a [[tram]], [[streetcar]], or [[light rail]] vehicle to stop so passengers can board or alight it. Generally, tram stops share most characteristics of [[bus stop]]s, but because trams operate on rails, they often include [[railway platform]]s, especially if stepless entries are provided for [[accessibility]]. However, trams may also be used with bus stop type flags and with mid-street pavements as platforms, in [[street running]] mode.
