@mobileharv I think #interurbans are a vastly underrated form of #transportation. They were fully #electric, provided frequent service (even in small towns), could exceed highway speeds, had widespread service, and could easily shift from providing local intracity service to high speed intercity service. They're also one of the few forms of transit that could work in #rural areas (although theoretically, buses could too).

π "The interurban railways made Dallas a commuter town β the only one in Texas. It was so easy to catch the interurban, ride a few minutes into Dallas to work, then hurry to the terminal and ride home to Grand Prairie, Lancaster, Ennis, or Vickery for supper at night."
