What ever happened to the InterUrban streetcar?
Ever wonder why we are forced to drive everywhere, everyday for everything? What about issues of energy, oil, mobility, community, economy? The InterUrban streetcar, was and IS such an unthreatening, economical and humane way to get around. Owning a car typically costs an average person $9,000 annually. Multiply that times the millions who are dependent on the automobile. Think about it. The beloved car has become an economic liability.General Motors streetcar conspiracy

They were eradicated by a syndicate of companies (called "Cloverleaf" in Roger Rabbit, the three leaves being General Motors, Firestone, and Standard Oil).
