Equal to how much of a tax increase for how many years?

THEN Lancaster City taxpayers will be stuck paying for the operating losses forever. The tracks and the catenary would cost far more to maintain than any savings from using electricty instead of gasoline.

Since a great deal of traffic in Lancaster is merely traveling through the city to another destination, tracked trolleys cannot avoid creating impossible gridlock. Romantic as the idea may sound to a city dweller who only travels a few blocks to each destination, and the idea is appealing. But without a route to effficiently circumvent the city (for those who must travel through) nothing but fume emmitting gridlock will occur.(There goes the romance and nostalgia up in CO2!)

I can parallel park very well, thank you. My neighbor on the other hand, well, let's just say that apparently "parallel" is just a suggestion. I almost couldn't believe my eyes one morning. I think she must have been drunk.
Did not know about the $3 fare. I just wouldn't want to get caught in the situation of having exact change for one bus, and not having exact change when I needed to switch buses, but the all day fare takes care of that.

Don't be lured into this! Tampa put in a streetcar line a couple of years ago. The system is 2.3 miles long and it cost $53 million. It carries the occasional tourist on a sightseeing tour of the freight yards in the port. It bleeds red ink, so much so that the transit authority is trying to give it back to the city.
