      It is near identical to Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and is about a different real conspiracy (the theft of water for the expansion of California cities) from the same time period I guess I should say it's an example of mystery not ending with the protagonist getting the arrest

      The mystery is solved but it doesn't matter, no one will believe the protagonist and he can't save his love interest or anyone else

      *nods* I could've sworn that _Who Framed Roger Rabbit?_, which I haven't watched, either---I don't watch movies---was about the streetcar thing, because I feel like I hear it cited a lot in that context?

      Yeah Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is about the conspiracy to buy out the Red Trolley company ("Red Car" in the movie) to dismantle their assets and take their right-of-ways to build the freeway

      They poke fun at it in the movie, Judge Doom declares his mad dream to transform the country into a car utopia with highways and parking lots everywhere, cheap motels, fast food restaurants, etc. and they say it's something only a Toon could invent

      I do wonder how many people watching a kids' movie in 1988 had heard of the Pacific Electric "Red Cars" or realized they were real?

      I definitely got from the movie that they were making a joke out of the villain's evil plan being something that actually happened in the real world

      Given that, you know, I was aware that you can no longer get around most cities via streetcar and that the world is in fact covered with highways and ubiquitous car culture

      *nods* I guess the real question is how aware most people are of what cities _used_ to be like. I'm really not the right person to answer that one at this point. But I suspect that kids, at least, don't really have any mental image of pre-automobile industrial cities at all.

      The thing is that most of the Red Trolley's routes still exist in the form of LA's municipal bus system But the bus system languished under heavy stigma as being filled with perverts and criminals for decades, sadly

      This was a whole thing, institutional neglect of the bus system led LA to be the first city in the country to have a Bus Riders' Strike that led to the creation of their Bus Riders' Union The union still has people on the buses distributing literature

          *nods* It's actually really common for most of a city's streetcar lines to persist as bus lines, even when they don't necessarily make sense in terms of current population/job distributions.

          A while back, I wrote an article about how DC's bus route numbers only make sense if you know the history of the streetcar systems: buses have different numbering schemes depending on if they were buses or streetcars in the 1930's.https://ggwash.org/view/69086/how-metrobus-numbers-came-to-be …
