Simple proof that streetcars ≠ buses

Both streetcars and buses come in many shapes and sizes, but if you need the capacity, streetcars can be much bigger. So far neither DC nor Arlington has proposed a streetcar this long, but they’re possible.

    Sadly, it seems that while Arlington and DC move forward with transit for the 21st Century, Alexandria is stuck in the past with more buses–refusing to connect to Arlington’s proposed Crystal City streetcars. Yeah, “BRT” will be just fine…
