Indeed, and two other things that struck me about it were the amazing frequency of trolleys, and the number of right-hand drive cars (not an artifact of film reversal - the writing on signs is correct.) It is well-documented how the car industry successfully lobbied to kill public transport, and it seems that up to 1910, most American cars were right-hand drive, until Ford effectively standardized left-hand drive with the Model T. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic#Road_vehicle_configurations https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic#R...
