It is a Translohr system - overhead catenary, single track, and running on rubber tires. It was new technology to me. Interesting as well to see the system running along a busy pedestrianization street, with little or no separation between trains and street life.
Overall, a great transit system that has had a profound impact on the city and its culture.
Cool. Not too many good videos of the Tranvia in the first few google search hits, this one has the most relevant footage but is strangely cropped or filmed off of another monitor or something:
