Maybe to be merged with, and surely to be linked to/from: Category:Tourist tram services. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:17, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- Not all trams are specifically for tourists. Some are part of regular transit systems. --Auntof6 (talk) 18:40, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Auntof6: Doesn't "charter" suggest not part of regular transit system? - Themightyquill (talk) 22:36, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- I suppose it does. For some reason, I missed that. Still, would they necessarily be for tourism? --Auntof6 (talk) 23:53, 5 February 2018 (UTC)
- In many cases, Charter trams are "for particular tourist group". also, Charter trains ? --Benzoyl (talk) 09:12, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
- But, As Auntof6 says.
- For example,File:Kobejo-senyou.jpg is
"School tram". Thanks. --Benzoyl (talk) 09:23, 6 February 2018 (UTC)- Sorry, This is "School train"... --Benzoyl (talk) 09:39, 6 February 2018 (UTC)

- As far as I can tell from [2], the only images we have in this category tree are of tourist trams, not privately chartered trams. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:16, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Oppose: The two images currently in Category:Charter trams in Japan both depict privately chartered trams, so would not really fit appropriately in Category:Tourist tram services. --DAJF (talk) 10:58, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- What exactly are you opposing? -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 11:06, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am opposing the proposal to merge Category:Charter trams with Category:Tourist tram services. --DAJF (talk) 06:14, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- Then read again what’s the subject of this diacussion (n.b.: discussion, not vote): «Maybe to be merged with, and surely to be linked to/from». -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 23:45, 16 February 2018 (UTC)

- Privately chartered for what kind of use? A tram could be privately chartered by a group of tourists. --Auntof6 (talk) 13:02, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- File:Hankai 162 Green Only IMG 3864r R 20150720.JPG depicts a tram chartered by a high school railway society. I wouldn't regard that as "tourist use", but what do other people think? It's not clear from the description who the tram in the other image is chartered by, other than that it is privately chartered (kashikiri). --DAJF (talk) 06:14, 16 February 2018 (UTC)
- I would say a group of high school students visiting a museum in their own city still qualify as tourists. Unless a tram is being used purely to get from point a to point b (like a charter bus) instead of for learning/entertainment, I'd still call it tourism. - Themightyquill (talk) 08:26, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
Closing, stale discussion without consensus. Seems there is a distinction between this an "Tourist tram services" useful to some in some contexts. "See also" hatnotes now on both categories. -- Infrogmation of New Orleans (talk) 15:51, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
