A trackless train — or tram ( U.S. English), road train, land train, or parking lot train is a road-going articulated vehicle used for the transport of passengers, comprising a driving vehicle pulling one or more carriages connected by drawbar couplings, in the manner of a road-going railway train. Similar vehicles may be used for transport of freight or baggage for short distances, such as at a factory or airport. Terminology ''Trackless train'' or ''land train'' are descriptive terms for the rubber tired road-going vehicles to distinguish them from rail mounted trains. ''Parking lot tram'' is a common name in the US, reflecting its use in parking lot transport.
