>>1955308>they are a decent noveltythey carry more people than some American subway networks in their entirety do per day, like even after ridership numbers got reduced by 40% thanks to the pandemic they still carry the equivalent of a quarter of the city's subway network in numbers. shut the streetcar down and the city shuts down and gets even more fucking congested, they're not just a novelty lmao, they carry almost as many people as MARTA alone (and probably did so this year after covid ended)
>>1959101the problem is the streetcar was the only one in NA that didn't get torn up because of GM and streetcars used to share the road back before car dependency and increased car volumes fucked everything up. it's operating the same way it did before the war, and it's really stupid that we don't have congestion zones dt or didn't extend the king pilot. or make a pedestrianized street even
