    This is only mildly related, but you may enjoy it. It let’s you play state transportation czar. do you want to increase roads? How about mass-transit? Care to raise gas taxes? See how it all ends and whether you can stay under budget, or if you need to issue some bonds to pay for improvements. Based on Kansas:

    I would forward that to Joel Burns, but I’m pretty sure he is active in these parts. Maybe the rest of the council members should get a copy of that.

  3. I used to live in Charlottesville and I never actually rode the street car because I lived outside of town and had to drive in anyway, but it was a great way for students to get from grounds to downtown, which is a very popular destination. And it’s free.

    I think they are talking about building a real electric streetcar on tracks. Perhaps you are thinking of the bus that looks like a trolley?
