"The Great American Streetcar Scandal" Did you read the wikipedia entry? Here is another. en.wikipedia.org National City Lines was formed in 1936 as a holding company, for the express purpose of acquiring local transit systems throughout the country, mostly in medium-size cities. Many of those transit systems had already converted from streetcars to buses. The fact of the matter is that buses were seen and more modern than the streetcars. Which is why that cities where NCL had no interests still shutdown their streetcars.
