Scenarios about 'streetcars'
Streetcars are urban rail vehicles that run on tracks laid in city streets, serving as a primary form of public transportation from the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries in many cities worldwide. These electric or horse-drawn conveyances shaped urban development patterns, enabling city expansion and the creation of streetcar suburbs before being largely replaced by buses and automobiles. In alternate history scenarios, continued streetcar dominance could represent different urban planning philosophies or energy resource priorities.
