Wikipedia article lists Pittsburgh as having streetcars. In the 30 or so years that I've been here, I've never seen a streetcar. We do have light rail, however.

- TylerE 4y agoConverted to light rail in the mid 80s
- greenn 4y agoThe T runs mostly on a separate rail, but there are a number of places in city limits where it runs with cars on the street. Check out Arlington Avenue in Allentown (the Pittsburgh neighborhood, not the city).
- intrasight 4y agoI see no T routes down Arlington
- bombcar 4y agoThe distinction between light rail and streetcars gets confusing - is the San Diego Trolley a "street car" when it runs down the street? Or because cars aren't supposed to drive in its "lane" is it still light rail? What about when Amtrak comes rolling down the street? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFk-yeGHn-o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFk-yeGHn-o I've always taken them to be "single car trains that run in normal lanes" but that almost covers the electric busses of Seattle.
- intrasight 4y agoHere they are nowhere on the "street" - at least nowhere that I can see. They are on separate rail likes - like a train.
