Streetcars
Kara McQuerrey
Streetcars are an old form of transportation, but this article talks about how it’s coming back. Streetcars can help economic development especially help with the transit system. We call this the “second generation”. They utilize a lot of the same stuff streetcars use to have used. Now they have a modern train with ADA-accessible low floor boarding. Places like Salt Lake City, Tucson , Atlanta, Dallas, Washington DC and Kansas City have all reopened modern streetcar systems. They can use this to show a new way of life. And environmentally this can help lower the amount of cars in cities.

I feel like they are very convenient when their is a stop close to wherever they are going but I also feel they are very inconvenient due to the fact they can’t go everywhere cars can.
ReplyDeleteI’ve always felt like they were a fun way to get around instead of using a car especially f you are visiting the place for the first time.
ReplyDeleteI remember the old, old streetcars in St. Louis, oh, a century ago. They were fun
