Very true. For the disbelievers, have a gander at this fine map: https://www.flickr.com/photos/115892967@N03/49373818816 https://www.flickr.com/photos/115892967

Very true. For the disbelievers, have a gander at this fine map: https://www.flickr.com/photos/115892967@N03/49373818816 https://www.flickr.com/photos/115892967@N03/49373818816 Be sure to zoom in all the way—the interurbans of Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are not restricted to the red lines, the black lines (marked up with an indication of the company running it and circles for stops) are covering the entire map in a fine mesh. Legend has it that for some time you could ride from New York to Chicago by hopping from one interurban to the next, with a gap of a few miles in-between that you would have to cover with some other mode of transportation. All those who claim that public transport is infeasible neglect that it used to be very feasible. This map does not show local streetcar lines, e.g. here's a 1940s map of Detroit streetcars: https://detroitography.com/2013/10/12/detroit-streetcar-rail-map-1941/ https://detroitography.com/2013/10/12/detroit-streetcar-rail...
