Streetcars are not a tourist attraction, although tourists will love to ride them. Streetcars are not a historical throwback or gimmick. Streetcars are not dressed up busses.

Streetcars are a modern transportation system that will spur and focus investment in the city. The thousands of riders each day will eliminate hundreds of car trips, reducing congestion, noise and pollution downtown.

Streetcars are different from the Light Rail plan in 2002. Phase 1 of the streetcar system will cost only $128 million. The price tag of the Light Rail was measured in billions. Light Rail is about moving people from the suburbs into downtown. The streetcar system is designed to circulate people around an area.

Streetcars are smaller and cheaper than light rail. The system can be constructed quickly and when successful, can be expanded into Uptown and Northern Kentucky.
