W.B.:

THe last TARS cars in "da Bronx" were indeed "TROLLEYS", as they used overhead wires; the cars that ran in Manhattan were more "STREETCARS", as they used underground conduits........

Sobering thought..........

Given what "da Bronx" os like nowadays, I SHUDDER to think of how badly t hose charming old old TARS convertibles (none of which were saved,BTW) would be trashed, en-route to their destinations....indeed, it was a far different area, back in the day, one far more conducive to public transit vehicles NOT being vandalized.....
