@Dragon@AlexSanterne we had electric trollies in the 60s, in Halifax-Dartmouth. It wasn't the best design for today, with overhead wires; they were quiet, but sparked on X-roads, and many times the brushes came off the wires, on the Sharp turn from Brunswick Street, into the newish MacDonald Bridge. We were ahead of our time, but lacked vision.
Or we'd have had a subway under Scotia Square before it was built. Subway, then Pedestrians only, to Spring Garden Rd. Things that make you go hmmm
The public transport is so dense (far from being perfect, but sounds like a dream to me compared to Marseille) that many people there don’t have their driving license. Still too many cars and traffic.
@AlexSanterne Far from Europe norms, when I lived in Ottawa, Ontario (Canada) it was so convenient to take public transit that I left my car parked @Dragon even when shopping! Everyone I saw wore backpacks.. you learn to carry them everywhere, freeing hands on Public Transit (Standing on bus) an let you carry a whole grocery bag of heavy items. The car I had was so easy on gas, almost bus-ticket price.. but, the bus drove me, extended wee hours and dependable. and I saved on a monthly pass.

They used to have a FREE eTrolly for the one mile RIVERFRONT ROAD in Savannah.
Besides being a tourist draw.. everything is in walking distance but the trolly just runs to the end and back.. We could do that on Barrington easily.. one street at a time.
FREE would be incentive to use it, because no bus make money.
