  • streetcars are becoming really popular

  • Tucson, Arizona (which is where I live), as well as a few other US cities, is following Portland's idea of a modern effective streetcar line. I want these all over US downtowns. I really need to go to Portland just to ride the streetcar.

  • @ChampsElysees100 HAHA! I live in Orange County and understand your point of view. Its a problem here in southern california. We dont have much of a public transportation system. I have been all over the world and have seen how mass transit is used, especially in europe, where everyone uses it, especially white people.

  • @lotwyo When people see a set of tracks and overhead wires, they and developers come ...in flocks!

  • The problem with streecars is that they are awfully slow, even when they have their own right-of-way... Subway systems are better, they go underground, don't interfere with surface and can zip fast through the city's deep tunnels.

  • Arkansas should have these.

  • I live in Los Angeles and after seeing this video I can only say it's so strange seeing White people taking public transportation.

  • @reluctantpopstar No they were not. Even the name "streetcar" comes from a word brought by German immigrants:"Strassenbahn" which roughly translates to "street rail". First so called streetcars, in Europe trams, were built in United Kingdom

  • trams are the future transportation and are the answer (or light rail) to today's congestion problems: there more enjoyable to ride than the subway...

  • Сesi ne udelaly to spatne!
