Taraamid (sidoo kale tareenka, iyo woqooyiga Ameerika, baabuurta tareenka ama baabuurta gawaarida) waa gawaarida tareenka ah oo ku socda wadooyinka tareenka ee wadooyinka magaalada, iyo sidoo kale marmarka qaarkood si sax ah u jeeda. Khadadka ama shabakadaha ay isticmaalaan taraafikada waxaa loo yaqaan 'tramways'. Tramways powered by korontada, nooca ugu caansan, ayaa mar la yidhaahdo tareennada waddooyinka tareenka (badi ahaan Maraykanka) sababtoo ah si weyn ayaa loo isticmaalaa magaalooyinka ka hor inta aan la aqbalin qaadashada guud ee korontada. Waddanka Maraykanka, waxaa loo adeegsanayaa taraamka tirtirka tareenada aan la socon, oo aan la xiriirin baabuurta kale ee ku jirta qodobkan.

Gawaarida tareenku badanaa way ka fudud yihiin waxayna ka gaaban yihiin tareenada caadiga ah iyo tareenada deg dega ah. Maanta, taraamooyinka intooda badani waxay isticmaalaan awooda korantada, sida caadiga ah adoo quudinaya farshaxan hoose oo lagu riixayo xarigga sare; mararka qaarkood kabaha boodboodka ah ee tareenka seddexaad, santuuqa gawaarida ama qaan-soo-qaadaha xadhigga sare. Haddii ay lagama maarmaan noqoto, waxaa laga yaabaa in ay leeyihiin laba nidaam awood-koronto oo waddooyinka magaalada ah, iyo naaftada meelo badan oo miyiga ah. Tareenada hadda waxaa inta badan lagu daraa ereyga guud ee "tareenka fudud", [qoondeyn buuxa loo baahan yahay] taas oo ay ku jiraan nidaamyada kala-saarista.
