Trams in Oranjestad, Aruba

[4] The line is the first and so far the only passenger rail service on the island and the rest of the Dutch Caribbean.

[2] The heritage style streetcars were designed and manufactured by TIG/m Modern Street Railways in California, USA.

[6] The line starts from a balloon loop near the Port of Call Marketplace and serves the downtown area with a route along Schelpstraat, Havenstraat and Caya Betico Croes, the main road, which is open to pedestrians only.

The fleet comprises four streetcars (AE) or trams (CE), of which two are single-deck (green and orange) and two are open-top double-deck (blue and red).

They were designed and built by TIG/m Modern Street Railways in Chatsworth, USA,[8] to use hybrid/electric technology: they do not take their power from external sources such as overhead wires when running but are self-powered by lithium batteries augmented by hydrogen fuel cells.
