    My most unpopular transit opinion is that the historical San Francisco streetcars sacrifice rider comfort for the aesthetic preference of non-riders. We should replace them with modern trams.pic.twitter.com/r4jqOvortN

        Turns out, this actually is an unpopular opinion 😅

        finally, someone else has said it. put them on the san josé mall loop where people don't actually need them and let's get some modern 70% low-floor trams for the Muni F

        Also somewhat common in European cities (eg. Lissabon, Antwerp, Milan). Not usually on the busiest lines, but obviously a pain to board if you're have mobility problems, driving a kid on a stroller,...pic.twitter.com/Zqgd8d9lS8

        I get it. I was wondering the same. Is this just for tourists, or does this solve a real problem? The number of cars was strange in that part of SF. Back home, it would have been a high-quality tram (with wifi and charging ports). Do locals use these?

        Most locals will use the underground trams and metros, while the overground ones are used more by tourists. But I’m pretty sure locals would love to use a modern above ground tram!
