“Historical facts” are in the eye of the beholder. There are lots of things written that debunk the “General Motors streetcar conspiracy.” Here’s one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_streetcar_conspiracyIs this article more true than those you referenced? I have no idea. But then again, neither do you.
I’m not and have never held myself out to be a transportation expert, but it does not take an expert to see that Tulsa and cities like it will not become large users of traditional mass transit like fixed rail trolleys in my lifetime. The money spent on building image burnishing amusement park trolleys around downtown can be much better allocated to improving existing bus service and adopting modern technologies that will make most existing midsize city mass transit systems obsolete within a decade or so. That’s not fact, that’s just my opinion.
Lol !! Eye of the beholder....that's good.
Facts presented before during and after the actual conviction. Documented for decades. And that post actually goes into all the public knowledge base.
And then veers off into his own little fantasy world... Keep in mind, this is about documented events from a wide variety of sources.
Versus the one you posted written by a guy in a mobile home park directly across Nicholson Lane from Perkin Elmer and Xoft, Inc, in San Jose, CA. With the polite Wiki note at the top about the neutrality being disputed.
You are right - Tulsa is highly unlikely to ever be as enlightened, informed, or forward looking for the best interests of it's citizens as one would hope! So we won't have a good mix solution of public transportation. Just the inevitable ongoing mess of diesel buses spewing in the air. With declining ridership due to reduced service, all spiraling downward and costing more and more like it has for decades. Like what happened with trolleys when GM got involved.
