@Layman -- So you agree, the people who "are willing to ride fixed rail transit service" and not buses -- even if there "are more buses and the service is better" -- think the buses are for some sort of lower class?

The fact of the matter is that you could double the bus service, and thus the capacity, for less than the cost of the streetcar. Maybe the buses won't be as shiny. What else is different? Are the streetcars going to travel the five miles significantly faster than buses? Is someone going to assure riders they will never have to stand?

That's why this is not about economics at all. It's all about image.
