The trams were suspended earlier on Sunday morning after the car was driven onto the tracks before becoming wedged on a bridge, blocking the light rail network.
Police were called at about 6.15am after the male driver, aged in his 60s, began driving on the tracks near the G-Link depot at Southport before becoming wedged on a bridge over Smith Street.
A Translink spokesman said passengers were ferried between Queen Street and the Gold Coast University Hospital by bus and staff were on site keeping customers updated.
Tow trucks worked to clear the car at about 9am, and once it had been moved, inspectors examined the tracks and found there was no damage done.
The Translink spokesman said services resumed by 10.40am, with delays quickly easing.
