Abstract:

The title of our paper-–the fourth in our series of studies of public transit, considered from a conservative point of view-–is straightforward enough. Short of replacing the propellers on our beanies with trolley poles, we could not make it plainer. Virtually all American cities and many towns, even relatively small ones, used to have streetcars. Someone took them away from us (if you want to know who, ask Roger Rabbit). And now we want them back. We want to be able to ride a mile and smile the while, just as our grandparents did, on steel rails under electric power. What could be more natural for conservatives than wanting something good we used to have and have lost?
