Lifelong streetcar enthusiast Kenneth C. Springirth asks you, the reader, to join him on a thrilling ride to the greatest centers of streetcar heritage across the world. Starting at Pittsburgh's iconic downtown subway, you will travel to the Isle of Man, with its amazing open-air horse-drawn trams, and Blackpool, with its neat, well-patronized double deckers. Several stops are made in mainland Europe: in Amsterdam, for instance, where the municipal authorities have revitalized the popular tram system and Helsinki, where the network has seen recent investment and expansion. In the Far East, there are stops in Hong Kong, home to the world's largest fleet of double-decker trams, and further south, in Melbourne, which boasts the largest streetcar system in the English-speaking world. Then it's a long hop over the Pacific to Toronto, Canada, where you'll find what is arguably the most impressive trolley car system in North America. After these highlights and many more, you will surely be convinced of the exciting future of this unparalleled form of public transportation. So come aboard, join the ride on this grand tour of thriving streetcar networks across the globe.
