I used to live in a tiny rural town of about 3,000 people, and even it used to have a trolley line. They tore it up when they built the highway, and now the only public transit available is one bus twice a day, and only for people who are disabled.
One of the old trolleys is still sitting next to the fire station, mocking everyone who drives by.
