    Hi. Visiting Pittsburgh from Melbourne Australia where we still have a large network of operating and thriving trolleys - or "Trams" as we call them. They so hold up traffic and they are slow but we now see them as so much a part of our city's identity that it would be unthinkable to let them go. Suburban sprawl has continued with no trams, but inner city suburbs remain desirable (and expensive) partly due to the good tram network making transport easy.
