Looked at Toronto for a while as a move destination and disappointed that something that could be amazing and every bit as good as anywhere else on the planet (streetcars./trams) are basically awful because suburbanite politicians like cars.

Not unlike the uproar against congestion pricing in NYC as it happens so it's a familiar tune.

Interesting comparisons here:
Last fall SEPTA consistently had a daily ridership of 790,000 and its operations budget for 2024 was $4,647,000 a day, for an average rider cost of about $5.90 per ride -- significantly better than other agencies of similar sizes.
New York’s MTA has a rider cost of about $8.71, Boston’s MBTA is $9.03, and Chicago’s RTA is about $10.04.m, and San Jose’s VTA a whopping $17.86 per rider cost.

Does Fort Worth need an urban rail line? Here’s what a study found 🚆

Vehicle traffic over the next 20 years is only going to get worse, so the city should look at alternate ways to move people around.

The average construction cost per mile for a streetcar system is roughly $40 million, according to the city report.

It could also take roughly seven to 10 years to plan, design, and build an urban rail system.

When I was a kid, before the expressway, the fastest and cheapest way to Cincinnati from Madisonville, was to catch the B&O at the station down the road at Oakley, Ohio.

I loved being close to those massive rumbling engines and the sound of the steel wheels' click-clack on the rails, but nothing was like walking into that gigantic art deco dome and seeing all those hauntingly beautiful, building-size color murals by Winold Reiss.
