St. Louis is among a growing number of U.S. cities proposing new streetcar lines. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch looks at the pros and cons of bringing back this old-fashioned mode of transportation. Opponents say streetcars cost much more than buses to operate - and aren’t exactly popular with commuters in cities that have them. Advocates say the trolleys help spur economic development.
