I don't think you meant for your comment to be so sarcastic. I live in the exurbs, not exactly the sticks, but on the outskirts of a major city and on the way to a significant medium-city city. I have seen pictures on English Russia, where there were catenary-powered tramways in what looked like Siberia in the 1950s or 1960s. I imagine how life would be here and now if there were two bus services at the nowhere stoplight near my house. One east-west, one north-south, running at convenient 15 minute intervals around the clock. It would be neat if there were a convenient ride to my workplace in the next city. I view riding the bus as having a chauffeur for $2.75. I saw some maps created by amateurs called Fantasy NYC Subway, where there were so many lines that they went up to double Greek letters. I have lived in NYC, and there is not even a one-seat train ride to the airport, nor always a taxi ride that does not have "trouble" with my debit card which goes away when I take a pic of his license. These monorails and suspended trains and such were done 100 years ago. People tried them. I have seen animes where the entire premise is about romance due to missed trains in nowhere places. For some reason none of these things happen in the United States.
The picture I was thinking of is the second one down, after the advert: https://englishrussia.com/2019/01/18/nice-tram-photos-from-the-russia-50-photos/ https://englishrussia.com/2019/01/18/nice-tram-photos-from-t...
