Destruction of US Trolley System:

• http://www.ejnet.org/rachel/rehw439.htm According to historian Marty Jezer (and Congressional hearings held in 1974), between 1920 and 1955, General Motors bought up more than 100 electric Mass Transit systems in 45 cities, allowed them to deteriorate, and then replaced them with rubber-tired, diesel-powered buses.

Most US [Light Rail] lines use more energy, per passenger mile, than an SUV... Buses can provide better, faster, safer transit service than light rail at a far lower cost.
