They don't stand in traffic. Tram lines are built in a way they have a physical priority on the road. They can also take a lot more people than a bus. Streetcars are good for you :), it is funny to see how people are viewing them as a novelty. Down here in Europe, after some degradation (but not outright removal as in the U.S.) in 1970-1980s, tram lines are being built like crazy. East European countries especially benefit since they didn't see much tram degradation - time when a personal car was in vogue in the 70s-80s was Soviet times for them, so they didn't have cars, and by 1989 cities have realized that scrapping public transport in a city is impossible.
