New Well, in One Line.. ya can't add many But..s
Way I sees it is: in the contest between upgrading these clapped-out vehicles (as we see can be done to a fare-thee-well ... now) GM behaved like any other unregulated Murican Corp. smelling a windfall even beyond! the Next Quarter ie real prescience in a CIEIO.

Influencing bored, unskilled city councils was EZ, prolly with TLAs du jour: all a soundin like the hype for the 1939 Worlds Fair in Flushing Meadows.

No Contest - a city council pondering, say Who uses / And why? the muni - and does ONE-car/person transport make Any Sense ?? Long Run !?! for daily work flows...

[and perhaps they did just that: pondered 'users'. Decided: riff-raff?]

Not even a website :-0 is, IMO - apt to tell This story convincingly.

A journey of a 1000 miles stabbing begins with a single step an innocuous initial incision.

New Melbourne did it right.
In the '60s, they invested in their tram system, whilst most everyone else were abandoning them. In the city centre and on busy roads, trams have their own rights-of-way.

And the GM link is unproven, but very possible. There was a documentary a few years ago about it. If the story is true, they did a lot to make it very hard to prove.
