Wow! Its great to see parts of the system are still active today. Just took the Hyde & Beach car a couple of days ago, and although we had to wait for double the time including a car that could not stop due to being full, it was a memorable experience.
On the flip side, for a city that perhaps was one of the early movers in envisioning a robust transportation system, it is somewhat disappointing to see that in over 100 years, parts of the city still feel so disconnected from the transportation lifeline, making those places really hard to live in and commute.
What went wrong? NIMBY'ism, lawyerly society, more regulation; and what is there to hope for the future?
