@GayBoyRunning you said Australia had streetcars before the US had it... New Orleans had streetcars in 1835 and the electric streetcar started in 1893 in New Orleans. Google it... Just to let you know... And yes Melbourne has the largest tram network in Australia: does Sydney have one? St Petersburg used to be the largest but many tracks were destroyed so Melbourne is number one.

@timosha21 plus the 1st trams that were 1st used in Australia was but in 1901.

@bobbbbbable sorry that i respond to you now after a year... but yeah: it is super expensive to build a new light rail line however the agrument is the long term investments pay off the short term deficit created. Light Rails are the future and they have the potential to decrease traffic and get people to places faster without hitting traffic jams.. Look at wonderful Europe. They have an amazing light rail/streetcar system.
