>>1039198>What cities have streetcars that perform better than a grade separated system?Toronto, for one. At grade streetcars in general have higher passengers per mile and lower costs, although this isn't always exclusively true.
>>1039229>S-BahnYou Europeans need to get out with that meme. Turning streetcars into some form of hybrid subway-bus was the worst possible decision ever made, because it ensured that streetcars would be trapped with the downsides of both and be relegated to some sort of second-class system. Higher cost than a bus, but not the capacity and speed of a true subway.
Grade separation is not a natural upgrade to public transit that is designed to service streets rather than large centers of population.
