Here is an example of a style we may use.

STREETCAR VERSUS BUS
There has come a time that we must choose between the rubber-tired and metal rolling wheels. What are the pros and cons?
Let's Explore......
"I want confirmation on my information about my transportation from Spadina station
[We want confirmation on this information on the transportation from Spadina station]
Gimme confirmation on my information about my transportation from Spadina station
[We want confirmation on this information on the transportation from Spadina station]
I went down to the station
I didn't scream or fuss
I didn't have lots of patience
Waiting for that bus"
"Spadina Bus" - Shuffle Demons [Regarding TTC - Toronto, Canada]
The Shuffle Demons' point: like most transit systems in North America, the entire Toronto public transit system not only does
not get people to their destination on time due to automobile traffic congestion, or the entire system is not timed for transferring,
or forcing considerable waiting, but how one can never reach anyone simply to get schedule information.
At least Toronto is working on it - purchasing new streetcars and expanding streetcar system. "Dedicated lanes"
makes the difference!
"And everybody sings, "Ba-ba-ba-da"
We're going where the air is free
Tomorrow belongs to me
When you're sad and feeling blue
With nothing better to do
Don't just sit there feeling stressed
Take a trip on the National Express
On the National Express ~ let's go!"

DEDICATED STREETCAR LANES MAKES EVERYONE MOVE QUICKER!!!!
Without vehicles, streetcars always stay on time, so there are never "traffic" delays. Tired-vehicles move
quicker as there are no bus stops.

Public transportation used to take you anywhere you wanted to go - and quickly. Streetcars had dedicated lanes, even rails
in the sky. If you were however, black, you weren't allowed to go into the suburbs.
Today there is a major regret: so many cities and towns practically and actually begging for trolleyed streetcars;
not just one glorified line for tourists, but for an entire system. Baltimore, where the electric streetcar was invented,
must no longer fear the gas, oil, and tire companies, as there are even bigger and scarier enemies - global warming, climate
change, tire-leaching chemicals, electric batteries too heavy for roads, bridges, and highways, and escalating respiratory
illnesses and deaths from: asthma, bronchitis, and phenomena. We must because we must; restore our complete electric
system, 59 years absent.

STREETCAR ROUTES TODAY
This page showcases streetcar, cable car, and aerial cable-cars lines and systems of the world. Compare the streetcar wave
of now and the future, to today's archaic overlapping bus routes.
"'Cause it's hard to be cool when you're behind the wheel
Of an eight-passenger automobile
In a big bubble, cruisin' down the street
With-a barney blarin' and a baby seat
Hey, it can be done, but I'm tellin' you man
It's hard to be cool in a minivan"
