Hopefully but I’m doubtful. My city (st Louis) has burned millions in a trash can of trying to get a singular, less than 5 mile, trolley working for more than a month and failed miserably. It’s been a major embarrassment that they’ve been entirely capable of getting it to run reliably down one mostly flat, straight street.
Yes, street cars or trolleys are essentially trams. Small, slow, go on rails in the pavement alongside cars.
Nowadays trams can go pretty fast. Plus, a better aligned railway and a better suspension means that they became.uch more quiet.
I just hope that someday we will see more of those used in large cities
