Can you tell me why streetcars are better than bus networks???

They are about the same speed or higher speed at times but shouldn’t get stuck in traffic as they typically have dedicated rights of way and are higher capacity and more predictable as a result of the tracked infrastructure, a streetcar will always show up even if it gets stuck behind something. They are also more accessible and have smoother rides in than a bus. Also this is an unfortunate benefit, but it will usually get higher ridership as it won’t be seen as something just for poor people.
