Back in the early 70s I enjoyed the tramways of Dusseldorf, travel anywhere for just DM 1!!
Smooth, fast, convenient, the list goes on!
OH! and non-polluting! ;D

I’m 78 and remember a few still around Hartford, Ct.
I will always remember my mother saying. “I wish they would bring back the old trolley cars. I hate the damned buses. They stink and they make me sick.” I’m not for going back that far, but I think trolley buses would be neat.

if denver returned to it’s trolley car glory, i’d ride them all the time.

as of now i’m an avid bike rider (though my bike isn’t as fancy as most other people’s). i support my city’s light rail, however it really only links the south metro area with the metro area. it’s not worth taking to cross town.

but if we had trolley cars on our main streets, well how cool would that be? and it would irk those car lovers so! ^_^ one could dream.

I remember that [i]Taken for a Ride[/i] program. If I remember right the automobile giants were also pushing for the government to push millions of dollars in to a convoy system that would allow more cars to us the same roads by basically have a computer in the car that would ‘tailgate’ a control car. I can’t remember how many 100s of miles of light rail/subway they said that same amount of money could build but it was quite big.
