True but with streetcars, you could actually automate the service with AI and self driving vehicles. The technology is there it just needs to be trained. However, one can build a line and provide minimal service until demand grows. The city government is just plain incompetent and doesn’t know what to prioritize. It tries to do too much and fails miserably.

LOL the union wouldn't let a fully automated train run without a driver. (The RT)

I know. It’s why it took so long to get the subways down to just 1 driver. Our trains don’t need one but we have one as precaution. The union and legacy leadership is what has held back the system from modernizing or heck even keeping the track maintained- basic maintenance.
