Also, if I recall correctly we also talked about capacity, cost per passenger, and of course the effect on land use.

I do agree with you that we should have trolley buses in some places around town, but to imply they're as good as streetcars is just wrong. They're not. If you want to argue about which corridors can support which mode, fine, but arguing that wires are all it takes to make a bus as good as a train is like arguing that removing the stop lights is all it takes to turn a neighborhood street into an interstate highway. There are more than surface differences, like it or not.
