After less than a decade of operation, the D.C. Streetcar is set to be phased out and replaced by an electric bus that Mayor Muriel E. Bowser (D) called a "next generation streetcar" when she announced the change Tuesday.
The rail didn’t work because of “high costs, aging vehicles [the system was just recently built], and limited expansion success, according to the Washington Business Journal.
And don't you just love that now the left's new "next generation" of transit is a return to slow, half-empty, mid-20th century buses?
It would be cheaper to just give every one of these commuters an electric scooter to zip down the street.
