message: Embarcadero was an extra station (after Xochimilco) active between 1999 and 2004 or something. I know it cause the Guía Roji map marked it then, but doesn't do it anymore. --Fluence (talk) 01:30, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I've added (in mid-May 2010) more information (with citations) to clarify this confusing history, in the article's prose section and also in the list of stations. SJ Morg (talk) 07:17, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  to do 

message: I read this article some years ago.  It did not mention that this was an update of the rump of Mexico City's original PCC system.  Almost all North American cities got rid of their streetcars.  The scrapping of the other cities streetcars now seems ill-advised.  The retention of some of their streetcars now seems foresightful.
This should be covered.  I am sure verifiable references can be found.
Back in the 1960s or early 1970s I read that only five North American cities retained a streetcar system.  I think it named San Francisco, Philadelphia, Toronto, and two other American cities -- and that it did not list Mexico City -- an instance of Anglosphere centrism.
I read that a lobbying campaign of individual city governments, by General Motors, played a big role in the scrapping of streetcars, in favor of GM's buses.  If this can be confirmed through  verifiable this should be covered in the article on the streetcar scrapping.  Geo Swan (talk) 21:48, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You may be referring to the Great American streetcar scandal that resulted in a somewhat limited and unfavorable judicial ruling in United States v. National City Lines Inc. but is otherwise dismissed by foes of public transit as having limited meaning in the great switch from rail to bus that took place in the 20th century. 67.86.74.107 (talk) 23:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
