Streetcar

Electric streetcars were cheaper, faster, more dependable, and more comfortable than their horse-drawn counterparts. Service improved dramatically. Millions of Europeans --workers, shoppers, school children -- hopped on board during the workweek. And on weekends and holidays, streetcars carried millions of happy outings to parks and countryside, racetracks and music halls. In 1886 the horse-drawn streetcars of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany and Great Britain were carrying about 900 million riders. By 1910 electric streetcar system in the four countries were carrying 6.7 billion riders. Each man, woman, and child was using public transportation four times as often in 1910 as in 1886 ~ Page 770
