For me, the issue is about how much bang I get for my buck, rather than who ends up getting the buck.The mission statement/justification for streetcars given in an earlier post is:  "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." Buses do the same thing for a lot less money.  Sixty to seventy years ago, as the system of rubber tires and roads matured, transportation officials realized the flexibility of the road/tire system rendered obsolete the system of streetcars running on their own dedicated railroad track.  Roads were multiple use and tires could go anywhere the transportation demand took them.  What has changed about that logic that justifies bringing back the streetcar?
