A great book that makes the economic argument (supported by data) for streetcars, as well as comparing construction costs, rolling stock typologies, etc. is Street Smart: Streetcars and Cities in the Twenty-First Century from Reconnecting Americahttp://www.reconnectingamerica.org It is also VERY well illustrated with MANY color photographs - a really great technical guide.Streetcars are really circulator systems, good for extending pedestrian range, reducing vehicle miles travelled (VMT) for errands and short trips, and increasing the catchment area for business districts.  Like sidewalks and multi-use trails they provide internal connectivity in urban environments. Light Rail Transit (LRT) and commuter rail are more suited to providing links from downtowns to bedroom commuities or suburbs - external connectivity.  They are complimentary systems that serve different purposes. TysonIndianapolis
