Nice Article!.. I know for Atlanta its a tough sell because traffic is so bad you can walk to the destination faster than being stuck on the streetcar in traffic. I don't know that in-traffic street car was a good option for them.

Downtown Los Angeles and Downtown Santa Ana both have streetcar projects in the works. Santa Anta's is under construction and LA's is part of 30 billion dollar bond package with 15 billion or so going towards rail projects.

Wow - interesting that it's free! But why not, right? We basically demand free parking everywhere we go, so I'm totally good with subsidizing mass transit for a change. Way to go KC!

If I understand correctly, the plan is for the OKC Streetcar to be free as well - at least initially.
