Who said it was good except for the people here; I would bet the streetcar vs bus debate would be different if those bickering about it were the passengers.

I personally see no reason for streetcars I believe it should be bus then lightrail as the tradeoffs are worth compared to a streetcar.

1 Streetcar will get stuck in traffic also
2 Streetcar will have less stops than a bus
3 Streetcar will not be able to move around accidents/closures (think protest, summits etc)

1 Lightrail will not get stuck in traffic has its own lane (most of them)
2 Will have less stops but will be better due to own lanes (though I dont like taking anyones stop away)
3 Lightrail will have same problem as streetcar when dealing with accidents or closures

If an area is going to have a streetcar it should also have some bus service to feel in the blanks between streetcar stops.
