INDUSTRY AGAINST TRANSPORTATION: Streetcars


The Death of Streetcars:
"American City Lines was one of many consortia formed and owned by General Motors, Standard Oil of California and Firestone Tire that systematically dismantled private streetcar lines, often after buying them as in the case of the Los Angeles Railway and replaced electric trolley service, sometimes partially with buses. The move came to be know as the Great American Streetcar Scandal."---Wikipedia
"What's good for GM, is good for America!"
