Thanks for the link but this is pretty well known stuff.

The SLRV may be a collection of bad business decisions and poor design, but I hardly classify it as a disaster.  I would consider it to be a poorly executed attempt to replicate the standardization of the PCC.

The PCC have outlasted the Boings....The Mattapan Line and up untill a few years back the Drake line in pittsburgh

They did provice the service between the PCC era and the current equipment in both San Francisco and Boston.

I understand that those clunkers had over 1,000 pieces in the mechanism to open the doors. Aircraft thinking, I guess.
