*** REPLACE THIS RAILROAD LINE WITH YOUR HIGHWAY ***

I'd vote for one exception -- buses.  Sure, they killed streetcars,
but there were a heck of a lot of interesting city buses out there --
trackless trolleys (Marmons, Pullmans), gasoline (Fageol Twin Coaches)
and who-knows-what.  But if there wasn't interest in these before on the,
net, why would there be now?  Just to kick things off -- trackless trolleys
departed from my hometown (Milwaukee, Wisconsin USA) in 1965, but
I've since ridden them in other cities -- most notably Canadian.
Toronto and Vancouver have gobs of them.  It was always my fantasy
as a kid to drive one of those things -- the pickup seemed great!
