Atlanta got streetcars about 2 years ago and I think in all honesty that the route was planned by the clinically retarded. So far, there's only one line, a single track one-way loop that goes through the landmark tourist area of the city. The purpose of the streetcars was to ease congestion during commute hours, but the route is so short that it would take less time to bike to work or use an existing bus route. Our subway isn't much different. In the 70s, most suburbs voted against a subway line in their area because they were scared of blacks from the inner city, so many of Atlanta's suburbs aren't in the route. Southerners think that walking or using public transport is for the poor, so everyone drives everywhere even if they're going to a starbucks two blocks away. The public transport here is as retarded as the city itself.
