[[Tram]] bogies are much simpler in design because of their axle load, and the tighter curves found on tramways mean tram bogies almost never have more than two axles. Furthermore, some tramways have steeper gradients and vertical as well as horizontal curves, which means tram bogies often need to pivot on the horizontal axis, as well.

Some [[articulated tram]]s have bogies located under articulations, a setup referred to as a [[Jacobs bogie]]. Often, [[low-floor tram]]s are fitted with nonpivoting bogies; many [[tramway enthusiast]]s see this as a retrograde step, as it leads to more wear of both track and wheels and also significantly reduces the speed at which a tram can round a curve.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.railway2007.fd.cvut.cz/proceedings/Capek+Kolar.pdf |title=ČVUT.cz - Čapek, Kolář |access-date=2010-05-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110718170646/http://www.railway2007.fd.cvut.cz/proceedings/Capek+Kolar.pdf |archive-date=2011-07-18 }}</ref>
