I would say "I took the tram.", but I can �t say that "tramway" is wrong.

Hi,
 
Take in this context should be followed by a means of transport (take a tram/bus/train/car, etc)
 
As far as I know, a tramway is a set of rails/track which trams run on, so you cannot take a tramway, just like you cannot take a railway/railroad - you take a train.
 
Have a good day,
