>>968229>>968228We also have french rubber tired metros here in Mexico DF, opened just a few years earlier in 1969. Jesus fuck it's like we can't have any nice things in DF, no more trams except one light rail line, shitty BRT instead, no passenger trains, and even our metro has mostly rubber tires.
And to think that we once had a vast tram system which survived all the way into the 1960's and 70's as we only got a metro in 69, we even bought the only murrican PCC which was ever bought new outside the US and Canada. We had a gianormous trolleybus network which is now just a handful of lines (luclkily some were turned into "fast corridors", not quite brt but still gud), we had based cheapo passenger trains aaaaall over the country.
